WASP Telemetry and Sensor Measurements
3-D Orientation (Azimuth, Tilt, and Roll)
The antenna WASP sensor contains a highly sensitive magnetometer and inclinometer
which can detect very slight changes in orientation. The antenna WASP sensor
measures orientation on three different axes as illustrated below.
Azimuth
–
is an angular measure
relative to the Earth’s magnetic field and is
specified in degrees offset from magnetic north. This value can range from 0
degrees (north) to 359 degrees.
Roll
–
is
a measure of the sensor’s deviation from level with respect to the
horizon. This parameter can range from -180 degrees to 180 degrees.
Tilt
–
is a measure of the sensor’s deviation from vertical (zero degrees). This
parameter can range from -180 degrees to 180 degrees.
Temperature
The antenna WASP sensors are also equipped with a temperature sensor which will
measure and report the ambient temperature at the sensor location in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
