RASEL – autonomous tracking and communication system for flying vehicles
System Overview
RASEL is a fully autonomous system designed for precise tracking and real-time data transmission from objects such as suborbital rockets and other aerial vehicles. It performs reliably in both supersonic and subsonic flights, ensuring seamless data collection and processing.
Key Features and Technologies
Onboard TM/TC Module
The telemetry and telecommand module aggregates real-time data, including position, velocity, temperature, and pressure. Equipped with an Inertial Navigation System (INS), it delivers accurate spatial orientation data, enhancing navigation precision.
Ground Station
The ground station features a movable platform with active antennas that autonomously track the telemetry signal. This setup maximizes communication range and ensures reliability. It also supports bidirectional communication, allowing operators to send commands such as arming systems or executing a flight termination system (FTS).
Applications of the System
RASEL is primarily designed to support suborbital rocket missions. Its adaptable nature, however, makes it suitable for other scenarios, including military applications. The system can integrate with drone-mounted antennas in future configurations to extend its operational range.

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.
Discover how the RASEL system’s ground station software ensures precise and reliable tracking of high-speed flight objects. In this demonstration, you’ll see how the software processes real-time telemetry data, manages communication with the onboard module, and supports seamless tracking and control of suborbital rockets during flight tests.
