has anyone flown the really tiny Venus GPS modules on a rocket?

Yes, we flew the The Venus838 on Launch 12.

Got almost nothing useful. Flight envelop: acceleration peak: 10.9 g.
Velocity peak: 374 m/s (Mach 1.1). IMU says not that much vibration.

Venus8 said we were sitting still on the ground for almost the entire
flight ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sometime around apogee it suddenly starting reporting sensible numbers.

Interestingly it claimed to have lock on ~12 sats the entire time.
