Description:
Pocket Rocket is an altitude simulation program based on the classic 'Rasp' program by G. Harry Stine.
The main reason for Pocket Rocket is to give you information in the field when you really need it.
Desktop simulators are nice but you need a really long extension cord or a laptop.
Pocket Rocket allows you to carry a relatively cheap computer to the launch site and still get some basic information for a given rocket/motor combination.
I like to think of it as more of a delay picker than altitude prediction program.
Standing out in the desert is not a good time to ask 'Hmm. What's this i211 with a short delay gonna do in this Fat Boy?' (the correct answer is more than likely: shred).
Common sense is sometimes in short supply at 110 in the shade.
Hopefully Pocket Rocket can help you avoid some unpleasantness.
