Abstract:
This work presents an alternative method of getting tracking, and the impact point of the actual flight of a rocket, by telemetry data and slant-range device. The tracking and impact point data were obtained from an actual flight path by merging the angular components of a telemetry antenna (Azimuth, and Elevation) and the radial distance information provided by the slant-range device. The position components were analyzed with the telemetry antenna in automatic mode, target tracking, comparing with the tracking results performed by the radar. The result obtained by the composition of the coordinates of the telemetry/slant-range set, it was observed that the point of impact generated by this group had a distance of 237.64 (meters), in relation to the impact generated by the tracking of the radar. Indicating a significant reduction of the search area and can be used as na alternative form of use. It allows you to provide additional location information for payload recovery around the actual point of impact.
