21 21 GPS Data Continued

22 22 INS INS Data has been collected on one flight test Latitude and Longitude was post processed from the collected data Initially, data seemed to be fine

23 23 GPS and INS Data

24 24 GPS and INS Data Continued

25 25 GPS and INS Data Continued

26 26 GPS and INS Data Continued

27 27 Analysis GPS and INS drift apart as expected 6 Mile difference by end of flight test Error much too large for INS unit

28 28 Analysis Continued A problem with the INS installation was discovered and corrected INS can send unreliable data if not initialized properly Error was masked from view

30 30 INS Static Test

31 31 INS Static Test

32 32 Conclusion INS and GPS data collection is ongoing INS data collection software is still being refined and updated More flight testing is needed to determine if the INS problem is really fixed
