This lets you explore the +	  behaviour of your rocket after flight with a scroll-able and +	  zoom-able chart showing the altitude, speed and acceleration +	  of the airframe along with events recorded by the flight +	  computer. You can export graphs to PNG files, or print them +	  directly. + +    	* Real-time moving map which overlays the in-progress flight +	  on satellite imagery fetched from Google Maps. This lets you +	  see in pictures where your rocket has landed, allowing you +	  to plan recovery activities more accurately. +     +    	* Wireless recovery system testing. Prep your rocket for +	  flight and test fire the deployment charges to make sure +	  things work as expected. All without threading wires through +	  holes in your airframe. +     +    	* Optimized flight status displays. Each flight state now has +	  it's own custom 'tab' in the flight monitoring window so you +	  can focus on the most important details. Pre-flight, the +	  system shows a set of red/green status indicators for +	  battery voltage, apogee/main igniter continutity and GPS +	  reception. Wait until they're all green and your rocket is +	  ready for flight. There are also tabs for ascent, descent +	  and landing along with the original tabular view of the +	  data. +     +    	* Monitor multiple flights simultaneously. If you have more +	  than one TeleDongle, you can monitor a flight with each one +	  on the same computer. +     +    	* Automatic flight monitoring at startup. Plug TeleDongle into +	  the machine before starting AltosUI and it will +	  automatically connect to it and prepare to monitor a flight. +     +    	* Exports Google Earth flight tracks. Using the Keyhole Markup +	  Language (.kml) file format, this provides a 3D view of your +	  rocket flight through the Google Earth program. |
