Other telemetry methods? What other telemetry methods? I suppose you can
measure the angle of ascension and do the trig to find altitude, but that
never seems to be very accurate. You can also measure it's time of
flight, but this is only as accurate as the person doing the timing and
gives you the average. A microprocessor (and appropriate pressure sensors)
could give you accurate altitude, airspeeds, acceleration profile, etc.
