Altus Metrum rolls out 2nd generation ground software
BLACK FOREST, Colorado USA — Altus Metrum is pleased to announce general availability of our second generation ground software for use with TeleMetrum. This new software release works identically on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. In addition, many of the functions that were only available through command line utilities in the first-generation, Linux-only software are now implemented using menus in the graphical user interface, significantly simplifying use of TeleMetrum by a broader range of users! TeleMetrum is the world's first fully-integrated dual-deploy altimeter with GPS and radio telemetry link for use in mid and high power rockets. The complete system fits on one circuit board smaller than many ejection-only altimeters, and is ready to fly in 29mm and larger airframes. TeleMetrum boards have been used for successful L1, L2, and L3 certs, and are well suited for everything from sport flying to extreme performance.

SWT brings Electric Slide to model, high power rocketry
BELMONT, Massachusetts USA — Back in the early 90's, the Electric Slide was made popular by choreographer Ric Silver, who claims to have invented the dance as well as The Robot and breakdancing. About the same time Silver was breaking new ground on dance floors nationally, Arnold Roquerre of Space Warp Technology was breaking new ground in innovative model and high power rocket launching systems, in this case, a magnetic launching system. What made Roquerre's magnetic launching system so unique was that it used magnetic slides. This totally new concept for launching model and high power rockets had never been done by anyone, not even a government space agency, until 1997.
