For some reason, I was thinking Kurt had a recording altimeter with barometric
data along with his BRB. The barometric readings was what Dr. R. was talking
about being able to use.

You can do that if you have good data all the way up -- but these many
consumer GPS modules aren't designed to accurately track altitude in such a
high G environment. I looked at Kurt's data, and the GPS didn't re-lock until
just second prior to apogee.

My head got a little fried during the launch, so I don't remember exactly what
he said, but David Reese mentioned something like plotting the data and fitting
it to a curve, which would "ignore" the outliers and give an approximation that
was more reasonable.

Any GPS velocity? I understand thebaro-deduced velocity is garbage for Mach +.

I have the GPS reading from my big Red Bee and the officialreading from the
Stratologger:
Big Red Bee GPS: 19,071 feet MSL or 16,204 feet above ground level
Stratologger CF: 15,426 feet AGL
Not bad considering that the sim showed it between 11Kand 12K.
