Did the telemetry system on this student build rocket include ham radio? Anyone know details? On the web page I can't find anything about the electronics. Bob
EMBRY-RIDDLE GOES BALLISTIC Late last month students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) sent a two-stage rocket into the upper atmosphere. With 3,500 pounds of thrust in the first stage and 900 pounds in the second, school officials said it set a student-built vehicle record of 37.8 miles (space normally begins at 62 miles). It was launched from the NASA Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia and reached a top speed of Mach 4.04. The 16-foot-long rocket weighed 268 pounds gross and carried a 15-pound payload, including a telemetry system.
For more information and a video of the launch, see the Web site.
