Hi All,
I have written some software, which I call StrewnLAB, for the purpose of locating meteorites, and I am now wondering if it might be useful for locating lost rockets. Could you tell me if there is any such software already available and is it any good? Wind would be a huge factor in where rockets land and my software automatically downloads and processes the latest weather balloon data from the government servers and produces a probability map to show the most likely place to search. Do you think there would be interest in the model rocketry community?
I would need to learn a bit about rocket thrush and drag, and make some minor modifications to the software, but how hard can it be? It's only rocket science...
If anyone has a lost rocket I can help you find, I would be looking for some test cases. Feel free to contact me.
Thank you!
