Skydiver Flight Parameters Recorder

This paper presents skydiver flight parameters recorder named SKYBOX and data which can be acquired by it. It is unique device which can measure not only height profile and GPS track but body orientation also. The device can collect not only height and geographic position but also inertial information - accelerations and rotational speeds. Basic information about metrological specification of the device are presented. Additionally, sample data like height profile, GPS track and movement parameters are shown. It is shown that individual phases of the skydiver flight can be discriminated.
