<h2>User documentation</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Unfortunately no user's guide currently exists for OpenRocket.
|
||
|
|
Some documentation is available in the
|
||
|
|
<a href="http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/openrocket/">OpenRocket
|
||
|
|
wiki pages</a>, including a stub
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/openrocket/index.php?title=User%27s_Guide">User's
|
||
|
|
guide</a> and a section of
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/openrocket/index.php?title=FAQ">frequently
|
||
|
|
asked questions</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If you would like to help, please extend the documentation!</p>

<h2>Technical documentation</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>OpenRocket was originally written as the Master's thesis of
|
||
|
|
Sampo Niskanen at Helsinki University of Technology. The thesis
|
||
|
|
currently functions as the technical documentation, and will be
|
||
|
|
updated in the future to account for further enhancements.
|
||
|
|
The thesis is licensed under a
