OpenRocket Simulation
See how this rocket is expected to perform with different motor configurations by downloading the free OpenRocket design file.
The file can be opened using OpenRocket, a free rocket design and flight simulation program available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
What is an OpenRocket design file?
An OpenRocket design file contains a digital model of the rocket, including its dimensions, weight, body components, fin shape and recovery system.
The rocket has already been entered into the software, so you can open the file and begin testing different compatible motors without building the model from scratch.
OpenRocket can help you explore:
- estimated altitude and maximum speed;
- flight stability;
- acceleration and flight duration;
- deployment timing;
- descent rate;
- the effect of wind; and
- where the rocket may land.
It is a useful way to learn more about the rocket’s expected performance and compare motor options before building or launching.
Download the .ork file, open it in OpenRocket and start running your own flight simulations. Always confirm your final motor selection and launch conditions with an experienced rocketeer or launch official before flying.
