Abstract :
The author examines the telemetry from the existing amateur satellites, discusses telemetry from a systems perspective, and looks at requirements for all parts of the system including spacecraft builders, telemetry users, and ground station software developers. He then introduces two proposed amateur telemetry standards, the first for downlinking of data, the second for interchanging data between different computers and long-term archiving of the data
