+We now consider our [AltOS](../AltOS) firmware completely reliable, and we
+now routinely fly TeleMetrum with no backup. Rockets with TeleMetrum boards
+have exceeded 50g acceleration, been well above Mach 1, and reached altitudes
+greater than 25k feet AGL with great results. Keith's second generation
+ground station program called altosui works on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems
+and logs telemetry to disk, displays current and max values for key parameters
+during flight, and even includes voice synthesis during the flight so that
+our eyes can stay on the rockets! After flight, altosui can extract the
+complete flight log from TeleMetrum, can display plots of the data from either
+the telemetry received by radio or the onboard flight log, can output a kml
+file for use with [Google Earth](http://earth.google.com), and can also
+output all the flight data as a csv file for easy import to spreadsheet
+programs or other analysis tools allowing you to perform whatever
+custom analysis you can envision! More details on the software,
+including full source code and pre-built packages
can be found on the [AltOS](../AltOS) page on this site.
## Future Plans ##
-As of May 2010, version v1.0 is available for sale from the
-[Garbee and Garbee](http://auric.gag.com) web store.
-
-Because we understand that not everyone uses Linux, development of a new
-cross-platform ground station program written in Java is underway for use with
-[AltOS](../AltOS).
+TeleMetrum v1.0 meets all of our expectations. We anticipate another
+production run of boards soon, which will include minor design tweeks mostly
+to work around component availability issues.
