Software On the Web

Rocket Software on the WEB

I will try to bring the necessary software to one location, Currently I have postscript converts, rocketcad, and others, so that you will not need to go to other hard to find places, trying to track down what you need to get work done with your computer.

Software that you can download that can help you design or use your rocket:

RocketCad The title says it all -- Computer aided design. Has very complete inventory of parts.

	Rocket Altitude Simulation Program A program to estimate altitude of your rocket. Requires MS Excel.
	FLIGHT V3.5 a program for the calculation of 2D rocket trajectories
	Stability Calculation for Windows
	AltPred.ZIP Model Rocket Altitude Prediction
	VCP -- Visual Center of Pressure -- Local information

OnLine Software:

	if you have any, and I mean any type of conversion to be done, here's the place to do it: http://www.processassociates.com/process/convert/cf_all.htm
	Do you have a question about calculating the amount of BP needed for an ejection charge? Here's a handy calculator to use: http://www.chmara.com/bt/rocketry/bpcalc.html

Tools to Aid in viewing/using on line images:

Downloading Adobe Acrobat Reader Software Allows you to read ".PDF" files.

	Quick Time Allows you to view ".MOV" Files.
	ScreenCam Player (.SCM Files) Allows you to view Lotus Screen Cam Files. (Good Luck!)

QVPTRW16.EXE -- '.TIFF' Viewer, trial version so it may be limited in use.

Old broken links... Need a replacement:

	JAVA-aided Design of Parachute -- Design parachutes on the web http://www.cs.auc.dk/~dorf/Kites/Plans/JavaChute/index.html no longer works... Need a replacement.
	Model Rocket Altitude Predictor On line rocket simulation program http://vax.niobrara.com/mks/altitude_example.html no longer works.... Need a replacement.
