The PAANDA experiment was conceived to characterize the acceleration ambient\nof a rocket launched microgravity platform, specially the microgravity phase.\nThe recorded data was transmitted to ground stations, leading to loss of\ntelemetry information sent during the reentry period. Traditionally, an\nerror-correcting code for this channel consists of a block code with very large\nblock size to protect against long periods of data loss. Instead, we propose\nthe use of digital fountain codes along with conventional Reed-Solomon block\ncodes to protect against long and short burst error periods, respectively.\nAiming to use this approach for a second version of PAANDA to prevent data\ncorruption, we propose a model for the communication channel based on\ninformation extracted from Cum ~a II's telemetry data, and simulate the\nperformance of our proposed error-correcting code under this channel model.\nSimulation results show that nearly all telemetry data can be recovered,\nincluding data from the reentry period.\n
