The Textile Strain Measurement System (TSMS) recorder is compact, self-contained data acquisition equipment developed under a NASA SBIR and built for the tough conditions typical during parachute deployment and inflation. The built-in accelerometer and external sensor inputs extend the recorder’s versatility to any project to capture the necessary data.
