Abstract
A small, multi-function device called the GPS/Telemetry Transmitter (GTT) that can recover telemetry (TM) data from missiles, spacecraft, balloons, or any moving platform or vehicle, and generate high accuracy trajectory estimates using GPS data is disclosed. Additionally, the concept underlying the GTT of transmitting high-data-rate telemetry and instrument data concurrently with transdigitized GPS data is incorporated in a GPS-Linked Transponder (GLT) resulting in a simpler and cheaper satellite positioning system.
