    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought that rockets could not have tracking capabilities in them. If they did they would be considered missiles.

    Simply not true. Active guidance is frowned upon, but nothing wrong with realtime tracking.

    I’m working on building my own system similar to this but a hell of a lot cheaper. I already bought a PS2 GPS module from ebay for about $25 took it apart and pinned out the connector and can get the serial GPS strings out. I then built a 5v power supply to run the thing and now I’m just stuck on radio issues. Trying to decide between some kind of serial radio or hooking it up to an AVR or Arduino to output APRS through a small standard audio radio.
