-release. Some of these features are already available in our C utilities,
-but not yet part of our second-generation Java user interface altosui.
-
-* [Google Earth](http://earth.google.com) "KML" file export. The
- first-generation C program ao-postflight can do this, the implementation
- in altosui has improvements.
-
-* Data plotting. The first-generation C program ao-postflight can output a
- set of standard plots as an svg file. The plotting code we're integrating
- into altosui supports direct interaction with the data and is much more fun!
-
-* State-dependent display. When the rocket is on the pad, you mostly want to
- know if it’s ready to fly. When the rocket is descending on a chute, you
- want to know where it is in the sky and how fast its falling. Presenting a
- limited amount of information that represents what is most interesting to
- the user at any given time should make the display easier to read.
-
-* Ejection charge testing. The TeleMetrum firmware has the ability to be
- commanded to fire ejection charges over the USB or radio links. Safely
- hooking this up to the user interface will allow for wireless ejection
- system testing. It is possible to do this today with a terminal program,
- but we want this to be a feature in altosui. The key here is “safely”, of
- course, which means figuring out a ‘fool proof’ user interface.
-
-* A Kalman-filter based approach to apogee detection using more than just the
- baro sensor, so that we can safely control apogee ejection on flights to
- altitudes beyond the range of our baro sensor alone. Unlike the other items
- on the list, this will be a significant change to the in-rocket TeleMetrum
- firmware. It may therefore be a while before this becomes part of a stable
- firmware release.
+release.
+
+* Motor characterization. Because TeleMetrum contains a
+ high-resolution, high-frequency accelerometer, it is possible to
+ take the data from that and compute an accurate thrust curve for
+ the motor.
+
+* Comprehensive PDF and/or HTML -based flight report. Construct a
+ complete report of the flight suitable for publication on the web
+ that includes graphs of the flight and details about motor
+ performance etc.
+
+* Publish flight data to the Altus Metrum web site. This will allow
+ you to share your flight data with others, and let you download
+ flights published by others.
