About Wiki

The OpenRocket wiki provides collaboratively written documentation for OpenRocket, an open-source model rocket simulator. It contains a User's Guide on downloading and installing, getting started, basic and advanced rocket design, and basic and advanced flight simulation.

It also covers overrides, rocket analysis, custom expressions, simulation extensions, and importing and exporting, with appendices on FAQs, component details, scripting with Python and JPype, and third-party compatibility. Developer pages are not maintained here; they were moved to GitHub in March 2021.
