There is also the rocketpy framework. https://docs.rocketpy.org/en/latest/index.html

Essentially it can do the same thing as openrocket, but in python. You can even go as far as to simulate liquid fueled rockets during flight, modeling for example how the depleting tank influences the center of mass. My student rocketry team used this for the flight simulation of our Ethanol/Liquid Oxygen rocket which flew to over 5km

Cool. Is there more information on their rocket or a video?

Sure! We launched at last years EuRoC Here’s a nice recap video: https://youtu.be/pc_Dvfo6m0g

Also here is our technical report: https://spaceteam.at/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Technical_Re...

Feel free to ask any questions. I’m the software lead of the project :)

Impressive. Where was the launch from?

The biggest one is C'space: https://cnes-edu-cspace.com/cspace-2025-en/

There is also the European Rocketry Challenge in Portugal: https://euroc.pt/

And for older students in the UK there's https://race2space.org.uk/

uau uau uau uau… uau

obrigado!

Would you mind sharing your list?

Sure, I put quickly put them into a small markdown file. At my job we have a cmake interface target that handles these (along with some version checks and project specific stuff), but I can't publish that of course. I might put these into a cmake file at some point, not sure.

Already fixed!
