-The motivation for the circuits and software you will find on this site is
-our loosely-knit group's shared interest in hobby rocketry. Rather than
-try to introduce the hobby to you here, we note that John Coker
-has published an excellent
-[overview of hobby rocketry](http://www.jcrocket.com/welcome.shtml)
-on his web site. Keith has also put together some useful notes about the
-process of [certification](http://keithp.com/rockets/certification/) to
-fly high power rockets.

-To find more information about the rockets Bdale and his son have built, see
-[Garbee Rockets](http://www.gag.com/rockets).

-As Bdale and Robert became more experienced in the hobby and started to build
-and fly more sophisticated projects, we started to feel limited by the
-existing electronics products available. AltusMetrum was Bdale's first
-attempt to address this situation with a completely open hardware and software
-design... other project have since followed, and it's cool to have help from
-various friends!
