< p > < strong > OpenRocket< / strong > is an free, fully featured model
rocket simulator that allows you to design and simulate your
rockets before actually building and flying them.< / p >
< p > OpenRocket features a full six-degree-of-freedom simulation,
realistic wind modeling, a multitude of different components
including free-form fins and canted fins, clustering and
staging. Read more about its < a href = "features.html" > features
and see screenshots< / a > .
< / p >
< p > OpenRocket is an Open Source project licensed under the
< a href = "license.html" > GNU GPL< / a > . This means that the
software is free to use for whatever purposes, and the source
code is also available for studying and extending.
< / p >
< p > OpenRocket needs help to become even better. Implementing
features, writing documentation and creating example designs are
just a few ways of helping. If you are interested in helping
make OpenRocket the best rocket simulator out there, please
