A Localisation and Telemetry LoRa Node for Rockets

Accurate localisation of flying objects has become increasingly important in a variety of applications including navigation, public safety and air defence. Traditional methods have limitations in terms of cost, complexity and reliance on active transmitters. In contrast, passive radio signal detection offers a viable solution for object location. This paper presents a dedicated hardware node designed for the development of a telemetry and localisation system based on LoRa modulation technology. It provides an overview of passive radio signal detection and its potential applications in locating flying objects, particularly in rocket tracking and positioning systems.
