Research abstract
Invocons Wireless Intra-vehicle Sensor Package for Enhanced Reliability (WISPER) will decrease the cost and increase the reliability of instrumenting launch vehicles. WISPER will accomplish these goals in two ways:(1) Minimize vehicle weight - this increases the useful payload or decreases the propulsion requirements.(2) Minimize physical interconnects - this simplifies integration, testing, and launch control and eliminates failure points.WISPER operates in a stand-alone mode or to augment existing data acquisition systems.WISPER follows a rich heritage of instrumentation developed specifically for missiles and other space vehicles. Many of these systems provide wireless connectivity to improve Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C) constraints.
