<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>

<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
|
|
the original Master's thesis.</p>
