The Model Rocketry Spreadsheets is a collection of model rocketry formulas that have been converted for use utilizing the LibreOffice Calc program.

...The sensors are placed in three different locations along the body tube to provide data on the temperature between the motor mount and the body tube, the temperature above the motor mount but below the flameproof recovery wadding, and finally the area where the parachute is housed, just above the wadding. This project is used in conjunction with the Arduino Primary Avionics Module (A-PAM) which can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/arduino-base-avionics-bay. An Instructable is available at https://www.instructables.com/Project-Icarus-a-Temperature-Sensor-Model-Rocket

This software allows you perform six degree of freedom simulations of High Power Rocket (HPR) and model rocket flights. Parachute descent is also simulated. 3D flight trajectories are produced as well as detailed tabular flight data. Running in Monte Carlo mode allows generates multiple possible flight paths and splash down plots, indicating the probability of landing in an area.

...The claim of these tools is to facilitate the programming of simulations by providing routines to quickly generate: -display windows and input parameters -help to display the variation in the data as graphs -management of iterations Goal for the user: quickly programme his simulation. Requires knowledge of C language. Knowledge of gtk and cairo (for simple graphs) is not necessary. See examples. -sugar fermentation kinetics -parachute drop -cycle of a water tank heated by solar panels -curve of chase For your simulation, simply copy and adapt some lines corresponding explicit examples.

A small program for an Arduino compatible micro controller that controls the flight of a model (water-) rocket. It does control the preparation of the recovery system, has automatic launch detection, an apogee detection system, parachute deployment, and safety timers. All this is managed with the most simple one button and one LED user interface.

Software for simulating the flight path of high power rockets in six-degree-of-freedom. This software runs with Octave or Matlab and can simulate a wide range of scenarios including parachute recovery and multiple stage flights.
