OpenRocket is a complex piece of software that allows you to design detailed rockets using various parts, and then you can simulate the effectiveness of your project.

Although OpenRocket is an advanced program, with a multitude of functions and options, the process of designing the rocket seems quite intuitive, thanks to the well-organized layout.

Every adjustment you make or every component you add it is immediately updated and displayed in the preview panel, allowing you to easily modify your project until you have the perfect model.

OpenRocket offers you many preview modes, allowing you to view a technical schematic, a side or a back view and a 3D model which you can freely drag around in order inspect your rocket on every side possible.

You can pick from a multitude of nose cones, body tubes or fin sets made for your rocket, and also, you can choose what material the parts should be of.

You can add engine blocks, parachutes and even mass components to your rocket. Each of the parts simulates real objects created by real manufacturers.

Every time you make modifications to your model rocket, information in the preview panel will be updated to correspond to the new adjustments.

When you feel your designed project may be complete, you can test your rocket in a virtual environment.

You can run as many simulation tests as you want, allowing you to make adjustments where you see fit, in order to improve your rocket.

Not only the rocket is made by materials with real properties, but you can also simulate real conditions, like temperature, wind resistance, deviation, launch angle and altitude, allowing you to conduct n in-depth simulation

OpenRocket is an advanced program, tailored for helping you design a customized model rocket with a multitude of parts and components, and also to virtually test it by simulating real conditions, in order to obtain an advanced report on the projects' functionality.
