Abstract

Electronics forms an integral part of a launch vehicle. As vehicles advance in capacity and complexity so does electronics concurrently with other aerospace technologies. The paper first describes technological advances in Navigation, Guidance and Control (NGC) system, and Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TTC) system, the two basic functional blocks of launch vehicle electronics, in early 70s to meet the demands of India's first launch vehicle SLV-3. It, then, describes the advances that took place in onboard electronics in 80s, and 90s to meet the requirements of polar and geosynchronous missions, as well as from developmental to operational missions. The paper also indicates future technological trends in this area.
