Abstract
This article presents a consideration of a new robust
telemetry (TM) system for future launchers. The main
target is to
increase the maximum data rate of TM system to at least 5
Mbps with improvements such as more efficient physical
layer, advanced antenna solutions, lossless data
compression, satellite relays, and adaptive coding and
modulation (ACM). An extension module for Network
Simulator 3 (ns-3) for launch vehicle (LV) TM
communications was developed, which is capable of
evaluating the system performance and potential gains of
the proposed enhancements. The results show that the
proposed telemetry system can reach close to the target
capacity with new physical layer modulation and coding
scheme and the performance may be further improved with
retrodirective antenna array and satellite relays.
