Abstract
A parachute data recorder system is provided that includes a housing, the housing having a seal for resistance to moisture and environmental impact; a plurality of sensors mounted in the housing, including an accelerometer, an altimeter, a gyrometer, and a GPS; a microprocessor mounted in the housing for recording and processing data from the sensors; a wireless connection unit mounted in the housing for transmitting data in the microprocessor; and an electronic connection port. The parachute data recorder system may further include a second accelerometer, one of the accelerometers being a low-g accelerometer and the other being a high-g accelerometer. The initiation of recording can be started by stress or strain inducement from parachute deployment.
