The application of microprocessors in sounding rocket attitude control
Abstract
This paper describes the development of microprocessors in sounding rocket attitude control and related systems at DFVLR and probable future trends. Areas covered include the design of dedicated electrical ground support equipment for system checkout, ground controllers for inflight telecommand of manoeuvres, logic elements and programmers for onboard systems, applications in digital control systems and the development and qualification of flight microcomputers for distributed intelligence systems.
