This course provides an essential overview of aerospace flight telemetry ground stations, followed by a presentation of actual ground station hardware. The student will see how ground stations are set up to operate in real time, including the many basic parameters required to successfully receive telemetry data at the ground station. Mission planning concepts and techniques for insuring system maintenance / readiness will be offered.
Describe how telemetry data is formatted and transmitted
Discuss factors related to mission planning
Identify considerations for data recording, display, playback, and processing
Recognize impediments to receiving “good telemetry”
How to perform periodic system checks and calibrations
This same course has been taught in-person at many telemetry conferences and symposia, and is now offered online! Your engineering team will appreciate the engaging delivery and detailed technical material. The on-demand format is perfect for continuing education and professional development, with the ability for enrolled students to engage in discussions / ask questions directly of the instructor via the Daedalus Aerospace training platform.

Flight test is only useful if you can measure, capture, and visualize the data!
The goal of flight test is meaningful data acquisition. More often than not, data must be transmitted to a control room or ground recording station. This course provides an essential overview of aerospace flight telemetry ground stations, followed by a presentation of actual ground station hardware. Students will see how aerospace telemetry ground stations are set up to operate in the real world, including the many factors required to successfully receive telemetry data at the ground station.
