[[!tag tags/rockets]] I've been too busy (work, family, and fighting a nasty cold!) to write much text lately, other than the comments I put on launch photos uploaded to my [Flickr stream](http://www.flickr.com/photos/bdale), but the remainder of our testing of the prototype [TeleMetrum](http://altusmetrum.org/TeleMetrum) v0.2 boards went really well! The only significant change we decided to make before going to production was to change the 3.3 volt regulator from a 100mA to a 150mA part. This will ensure adequate power for the companion boards we have planned, even when the GPS chip is in maximum power mode searching for satellites during a cold start. So... [drum roll, please] [Keith](http://keithp.com/keithp/) and I just placed the orders for our first production lot of [TeleMetrum](http://altusmetrum.org/TeleMetrum) v1.0 boards! With any luck, in 3-4 weeks we should have a pile of altimeters to sell, along with the associated [TeleDongle](http://altusmetrum.org/TeleDongle) ground stations already in stock. Stay tuned!
