Evolution of the Saturn Booster Telemetry System

This paper describes the telemetry system to be used on the Saturn booster and, by way of introduction, a brief description of the Redstone and Jupiter telemetry systems is given. The additional requirements for the system caused by the multiple engine booster are pointed out and the design consideration for the system is discussed. A description of the Saturn telemetry equipment is discussed in general block diagram form. No detailed. circuit description is given. In conclusion, the physical and electrical characteristics and accuracy requirements are outlined.
