MESTLER Mission Launch (Catastrophic Failure) 7/22/2016 (www.ANDRAC.co) was impressive. It was a shame they had a motor failure, but do hope they can attempt it again.

A neat and inexpensive program for keeping track of your projects in rocketry
I found this great and inexpensive software program that is great for inventorying and keeping track of your rocket flights. Once I started using it to enter and save the photos of the rocket projects I have built recently it made me realize how much of a rocket addict I am. I have inventoried 65 rockets so far and have many, many more to go. It is also good for recording good flights and not so good flights. It helps to keep a record of which rocket motors helped your rocket perform well as compared to others. You can also add a parts list for the item created.
Please take a look at it and give it a try:
