OpenRocket is a free and fully featured simulation software for designing, analyzing, and optimizing model rockets before physical construction and launch. It provides a comprehensive environment where users can assemble rocket components, visualize designs in both 2D and 3D, and simulate flight behavior using accurate aerodynamic and physics models. The software incorporates six-degree-of-freedom flight simulation, allowing it to model real-world dynamics such as stability, drag, thrust,...

An Open Source model rocket simulator.

Project: Olympus is an engineering project that utilizes an Arduino Nano microcontroller to create an electronic payload that records altitude, g-forces experienced by the rocket, as well as roll rate. Included with the code is a 132 page Project Manual that takes you through the design and construction of the electronic payload. It also includes sections on the construction of the Estes Olympus rocket. A detailed code review of each section of code is included. We take a detailed look...

This is a single rod model rocket launch control system. The system utilizes the Arduino Uno/Nano to report on local weather conditions (temperature, humidity, barometric pressure). The system also provides a 10-second countdown when the fire button is pressed. The system meets and exceeds the NAR Safety Code standard for model rocket launch systems as it incorporates a removable key to block the flow of power to the launch pad. It incorporates an additional two-button safety system to...

Project: Icarus is a proof of concept model rocketry research project that brings several individual projects together into a single model rocketry research launch vehicle. This specific project includes an avionics payload, temperature sensors along the body, and a video camera. The sensors record the heat buildup inside the body tube as the solid rocket motor burns and fires the ejection charge. The sensors are placed in three different locations along the body tube to provide data on the...

ORT is a tool for modelling and flying launch vehicles of arbitrary size and complexity. Unlike OpenRocket, it does not focus on amateur rockets but on real-world launch vehicles. The bundle includes a graphical design tool with an integrated simulation engine for rocket launches. Also included in the bundle is a playback application and a headless driver for logging simulations into spreadsheets. ORT integrates JME3 for 3D rendering.
