RASEL – autonomous tracking and communication system for flying vehicles

RASEL is an advanced, autonomous tracking and communication system for aircraft, rockets and UAVs. It enables reliable, long-distance data transmission and precise monitoring of a vehicle’s position throughout its mission. RASEL consists of two key subsystems: a one-way tracking system and a bi-directional data exchange system. These subsystems work together with ground stations to ensure real-time communication, continuous tracking, and monitoring of critical flight parameters. Its advanced software interface allows mission operators to visualize vehicle data and ensure safety throughout the flight.

RASEL – an autonomous tracking and data transmission system allows reliable, long-distance communication with a rocket or other flying vehicle.

The system consists of 2 subsystems:

  1. The first subsystem based on a one-way transmission is used for tracking a vehicle and thus maximizing the range of communication. Two main components of this subsystem are a radio beacon onboard the vehicle and a four-antenna tracking station on the ground.

  2. The second subsystem allows a bi-directional data exchange between the vehicle and the ground station. It consists of a radio transceiver on-board the vehicle, a directional communication antenna on the ground, and dedicated software for receiving, storing, and visualizing data.

Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU) and GPS Integration

The integration of the Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU) and GPS module, alongside ground station software, enhances monitoring capabilities for rocket operations. The ground station features an antenna system that can rotate vertically and horizontally, achieving 360-degree tracking in the horizontal plane and 180-degree coverage vertically. This allows for continuous real-time tracking of vehicle parameters, with the rocket’s position displayed live on a dedicated control application, ensuring effective monitoring throughout the flight mission.
