my approach would fall way short of your requirements.
i would only have angles across two axi's from a central origin(launch
pad)
i lost a really good rocket this past summer in argonia. I found
it last month at a different launch.
the fields had been shall we say PLOWED.
for what your thinking you would also need distance.

equipment so from the ground I can record real time position,
orientation, velocities, accelerations, etc. Then I want to feed this
into my flight sim project (flight gear) and be able to fly the plane
entirely from the virtual view drawn on the monitor. It would be fun
to combine this with a live video shot looking forward from the plane,
also transmitted to the ground. Then it would be fun to do this at
night, or on a really low visibility day. It would be fun to combine
this with an autopilot and have the airplane fly itself cross country.
I don't want to hear what the FAA would say about this, but it would
be fun anyway. :-)> and a hypnotic trance to get my boss to get rid of all the window
