OpenRocket is a free tool to design, visualize in 3D, and simulate model rockets with six-degree-of-freedom flight analysis, real-time data on altitude/velocity, automatic optimization, and exports for 3D printing or other programs. It works on any platform via Java. You benefit by testing rockets virtually first, saving time/money on failed builds, predicting performance accurately, and flying safer, higher with optimized designs.
