Rocketry Planet

WORLD WIDE WEB — Rogers Aeroscience is pleased to announce the 5000th download of the RASAero free software from the rasaero.com web site just over two years after its release.  The RASAero aerodynamic analysis and flight simulation free software has been widely distributed throughout the model rocket, high power rocket, Tripoli Research, and the alt.space/New Space communities.  The 5000th download of the RASAero software occurred on October 23, just over two years after the September 11, 2008 release of the software.

With the 5000th download of the software, RASAero is now one of the most widely used aerodynamic analysis and flight simulation software packages for high power and Tripoli Research rockets.  Rogers Aeroscience would like to thank the RASAero users for this tremendous response on the use of the software.  We've consistently received very positive feedback from users on the accuracy of the RASAero altitude predictions when compared to flight data for their rockets.

We're always looking for flight data to compare our altitude predictions against to help further improve the accuracy of our flight simulations.  The flight data and rocket information can be sent to the e-mail address below.  For those interested in running the software we include extensive altitude prediction comparisons and comparisons with wind tunnel data on the RASAero web site.

Additional information on the RASAero software can be found on the RASAero web site at www.rasaero.com.  The RASAero authors, Charles E. (Chuck) Rogers and David (Coop) Cooper can be contacted at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it .
