Abstract
A video telemetry system for monitoring the deployment of an apparatus coupled to a satellite body includes a camera that produces a video signal. A video compressor is coupled to the camera and digitally compresses the video signal into a digitally compressed video signal. A modulator is coupled to the compressor for modulating the compressed video signal. An antenna is coupled to the modulator for converting the compressed video signal into an RF video signal and transmitting the RF video signal to a ground station or other means for monitoring the signal, particularly during a deployment.
