> This winter I'm going back to programming school to try and help
develop the software specific to rockets and spacecraft. I hope to get a
group going working on this very thing. I believe in one winter season
we could really make something useful for amateur rocketry and
spacecraft. For REAL ground control and tracking using a combination of
autopilot software/Ground control and OpticTracker with Optical/RSSI and
GPS tracking.
Sounds exciting! Keep us informed of your progress. Combine this with a
real-time wind weighted 6DOF trajectory prediction model, and it would go a
long way toward satisfying FAA requirements. Would be especially cool if it
were open source so others could build on it.
Ad Astra,
