Rocket design from scratch

SpaceCAD rocket software lets you build your rocket from basic objects: Nose cone, tubes, transitions, launch lugs, rings, or fins. You pick these from the huge included parts database with hundreds of entries - or enter the data yourself.

SpaceCAD contains

  • 590+ nose cones
  • 50+ launch lugs
  • 260+ transitions
  • 630+ tubes
Plus 1200+ model rocket engines - enough to find the perfect one!

Make your rocket safe for flight

Make sure that your rocket design makes a perfect vertical flight, even in windy conditions, by computing its stability.

SpaceCAD rocket software computes the stability for you. This is determined by the Center of Gravity (CG) and the Center of Pressure (CP). Their distance decides on the rocket's reaction to wind. If they are correctly positioned, your rocket is "stable" and will fly straight and true.

This is done while you are designing, so you can tweak your rocket until it's safe for flight!

Build your rocket and let it fly

You can build your rocket design a lot faster using SpaceCAD:

  • Print a fin guide to cut the fins from balsa wood
  • Use the fin alignment guide to position the fin
  • Print a transition guide to cut it from cardboard

Simply print those rocket design patterns on your printer and start building your real rocket!

How high does your model rocket fly?

You do want to know the answer to the most commonly asked question: How high does this rocket go? Just use SpaceCAD rocket software!

Also, SpaceCAD helps you design a complete model rocket recovery solution. You can use multiple parachutes and even print patterns for hand-sewing them on your own - or let your grandma do it.
