“What we are building is a data acquisition system that will use the latest advancements in technology, with cutting edge hardware and software capabilities, so that NASA can capture the high-quality sonic boom data they need,” said Darren Fraser, Crystal Instruments vice president of sales.
NASA will use the Crystal Instruments Ground Recording System, or CI-GRS for short, to gather data related to sonic booms, and in the future, the X-59’s quiet sonic thumps. A feature of the CI-GRS will be the ability for NASA to install custom software and algorithms tailored to various specialized operations for real-time analysis of sonic thumps. - Read article on NASA website
