Calculations

273paine · Feb 15, 2013

My tech group and I are working on designing and building a rocket as part of a project. Part of the project is to complete different calculations before building and launching or rocket. Does anyone know any calculations for a rocket.
Thanks Ryan, Have nice day.

Try downloading open rocket, it is a free simulation tool that you can use on the computer.

There is also rock sim, it costs about $140, also a simulation tool.

We have RockSim. However we must do the calculations by hand without using a simulation software.
