Are you able to get gps units with at will work at those speeds/altitudes or do you do telemetry another way

A good "normal" GPS receiver will generally work for most amateur rockets. There are some artificial export limits but those can only really be hit by proper missiles (like 5 times the speed of sound and 50km altitude). For reference my last one went to 3km and reached just above mach 1.

The radio transceiver on this board can measure distances so I want to develop my own GPS-ish system with static beacons on the ground. Mostly as a challenge but it could maybe be useful for things like active guidance where GPS wouldn't be accurate/fast enough.

Darn for some reason I thought the speed limit was way lower. That's bad butt though. Hopefully when my kid is older, I'll have time to get into amateur rockets
