Real-Time Visualization of Flight Data for Suborbital Missions

Abstract: The aim of this thesis was to systematically develop a tool used for the visualizationof real-time ight data during suborbital mission, on behalf of the Swedish SpaceCorporation. By focusing on requirements, restrictions, and trade-os regarding functionality,communications technologies, geospatial visualization platforms, and manyother aspects, an interactive product visualizing the position, attitude, speed, G-loadsand angular rates of the rockets could be developed, ensuring a visualization as close toreal-time as possible. The resulting product was tested during the ight of the MAXUS9 rocket, Europe's largest sounding rocket, and was subsequently rened based on theresults of that ight.
