The development of hardware and software for online calculation and presentation of the Instantaneous Impact Point (IIP) of sounding rockets is considered. This development is necessary for the safety system of guided sounding rockets with high trajectory apogees and small impact areas. Experiments were carried out and the results from sounding rocket flights with altitudes between 65 and 540 km are presented. The quality of IIP calculations is dependent on the tracking stations and tracking methods are demonstrated in different figures.
