Parachute data recorder system

摘要

A parachute data recorder system is provided that includes a housing, the housing having a seal for resistance to moisture and environmental impact; a plurality of sensors mounted in the housing, including an accelerometer, an altimeter, a gyrometer, and a GPS; a microprocessor mounted in the housing for recording and processing data from the sensors; a wireless connection unit mounted in the housing for transmitting data in the microprocessor; and an electronic connection port. The parachute data recorder system may further include a second accelerometer, one of the accelerometers being a low-g accelerometer and the other being a high-g accelerometer. The initiation of recording can be started by stress or strain inducement from parachute deployment.

1. A parachute data recorder system comprising:
a housing, said housing including a seal for resistance to moisture and environmental impact; a plurality of sensors mounted in said housing, including an accelerometer, an altimeter, a gyrometer, GPS, and a second accelerometer, one of said accelerometers being a low-g accelerometer sensitive to a range including expected average acceleration and the other being a high-g accelerometer with a range including expected peak acceleration; wherein a high end of said high-g accelerometer with a range including expected peak acceleration is at least two times that of a high end of the range of the low-g accelerometer sensitive to a range including expected average acceleration; a microprocessor mounted in said housing for recording and processing data from said sensors; a wireless connection unit mounted in said housing for transmitting data in said microprocessor; and an electronic connection port.
