+summary: A free, fully featured model rocket simulator.
+description: |
+  OpenRocket is a free, fully featured model rocket simulator that allows you
+  to design and simulate your rockets before actually building and flying them.
+
+  The main features include
+
+    * Six-degree-of-freedom flight simulation
+    * Automatic design optimization
+    * Realtime simulated altitude, velocity and acceleration display
+    * Staging and clustering support
+    * Cross-platform (Java-based)
+    * Read more about it on the OpenRocket.info.
