Abstract: Wireless sensor network technology is an important and prospective development direction for electronic measurement and data acquisition.  Wireless sensor network technology is briefly introduced, and then the technical difficulties are analyzed and concluded when applying this technology for launch vehicle measurement system. Two key points, environmental suitability and communication protocol, are especially and fully discussed and the corresponding theoretical models are built. This work may provide basis for constructing a reliable and efficient wireless data acquisition way in the domain of launch vehicle measurement system.

Key words: Wireless sensor network, Environmental suitability, Communication protocol, Rocket measurement system
