<p>Unfortunately no user's guide currently exists for OpenRocket.

Some documentation is available in the

wiki pages</a>, including a stub

<p>OpenRocket was originally written as the Master's thesis of

is being extended and updated as the OpenRocket technical

<h2>User documentation</h2>
|
||||
<p>Unfortunately no user's guide currently exists for OpenRocket.
|
||||
Some documentation is available in the
|
||||
<a href="http://wiki.openrocket.info/">OpenRocket
|
||||
wiki pages</a>, including a stub
|
||||
<a href="http://wiki.openrocket.info/User%27s_Guide">User's
|

guide</a> and a section of

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. This thesis
|
||||
is being extended and updated as the OpenRocket technical
|
||||
documentation. Below is the latest technical documentation and
|
