Cover Story: The work presented in this article concerns the improvement in a housekeeping system for the acquisition of suborbital vehicle (VIRIATO rocket or launcher) data. The specifications of the vehicle are presented, and hardware is chosen accordingly, considering commercial off-the-shelf components. Mechanical and thermal simulations are performed to test the designed system, and a physical prototype is manufactured, assembled, and programmed. Functional and field test results resorting to unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as their system's integration within the VIRIATO project's mock-up vehicle, are presented. These tests demonstrate the viability of this system as an independent data acquisition system, and the simulation results show that commercial off-the-shelf components have the capability of surviving expected launch environments.
