  1. Determine Whether GPS Altitude Lags Barometric Pressure and Accelerometer Sensors Balloon Fest December 7, 2013Team 26Learning for Life SchoolGroup 3 – Wolves(Advanced)

  2. - Consumer GPS Receivers Lag User Movement When Displaying Latitude and Longitude Position - Does GPS Altitude Also Lag Barometric Pressure and Acceleration Sensors When Compared to Actual Altitude? Balloon Fest December 7, 2013 Team 26 - LFLS Group 3 – Wolves (Advanced) Experiment Purpose

  3. - Move a NASA Small Satellites for Secondary Students (S4) Sensor Payload Vertically Very Rapidly - Record GPS 3-D Position, Barometric Pressure, and Y-Axis Acceleration Balloon Fest December 7, 2013 Team 26 - LFLS Group 3 – Wolves (Advanced) Experiment Procedure

  4. - S4 Sensor Payload Records GPS 3-D Position, Barometric Pressure, and Y-Axis Acceleration Once Each Second - Compare Times When Altitude Actually Changes vs. Altitude Reported by GPS, Barometric Pressure, and Accelerometer Sensors Balloon Fest December 7, 2013 Team 26 - LFLS Group 3 – Wolves (Advanced) Experiment Data Analysis

  5. Proof: GPS Altitude Lags!

  6. - S4 Sensor Payload Data Clearly Demonstrates that GPS Reported Altitude Does Lag Actual Altitude, As Well As Barometric Pressure and Vertical Acceleration Sensor Data Reporting by About 10 Seconds on Average - Barometric Pressure Is Still a Very Accurate, Timely, and Important Altitude Indicator!
