In this paper, a novel wireless sensor network scheme is designed and developed to acquire telemetry data in a space launch environment. Wireless sensing introduces many advantages over wired sensors, such as lighter weight and flexibility in placement of measurement points. The flip side of the coin includes issues with battery life and wireless channel effects. Among the wireless personal area networks (WPAN) standards, our focus is on the IEEE 802.15.4 system, because of its good performance at low power and low latency. An exhaustive analysis is presented considering both simulation and experimental data. Results support that the proposed solution meets the main requirements of space applications.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel wireless sensor network scheme is designed and developed to acquire telemetry data in a space launch environment. Wireless sensing introduces many advantages over wired sensors, such as lighter weight and flexibility in placement of measurement points. The flip side of the coin includes issues with battery life and wireless channel effects. Among the wireless personal area networks (WPAN) standards, our focus is on the IEEE 802.15.4 system, because of its good performance at low power and low latency. An exhaustive analysis is presented considering both simulation and experimental data. Results support that the proposed solution meets the main requirements of space applications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
