Hi, bit of an odd question perhaps: can Open Rocket be used to calculate the stability of a rocket-like shape in free fall? Does the Barrowman equation, which I assume it uses, still apply?
To explain- I'm involved in the design of a free-fall ice-drift probe, which whilst NOT a rocket, is somewhat rocket-shaped, and I need to assess its stability in the free fall phase prior to parachute deployment.
I realise OR wasn't really designed for this! Is there a better (free) software tool for the job?
Any thoughts welcome
Thanks in advance.
