On a rocket, control requires monitoring to determine its position and attitude. Rocket stance includes roll, pitch, and yaw angles. Monitoring can be done manually without the help of tools while the object’s position is still within reach. It is difficult to carry out monitoring when the object is moving far and beyond the reach of the operator. This observation requires a monitoring system to monitor the object further. This research applies a telemetry system to a target tracking rocket. The measurement results from the IMU and GPS sensors on the rocket body will be processed by the ATMega 2560 microcontroller and sent via a 2.4 GHz RF signal. to Ground Control Station. The rocket telemetry data that has been sent to the GCS can be viewed by the operator through the GUI system in a computer program using the C# language in Visual Studio. Tests on latitude and longitude are carried out by tracking the trajectory of objects while testing for roll, pitch, and yaw angles is carried out by placing objects according to the reference angle. The results of the position obtained the values of altitude, latitude, and longitude of 0.5364 m, 0.000012°, and 0.000023°, respectively. An attitude tests for roll position, pitch, and compass heading have values of 0.35°, 0.07, and 2.90°, respectively. The telemetry data transmission distance test is still well-received at a distance of 200 with a test speed of 70 KM/hour.
