Rocket Tracker is an app used to keep track of the rocketeer's collection of model and high-power rockets. It can be used to keep track of a rocket's physical characteristics (height, weight, center of gravity, etc.), what engines it can use, when it has been launched and what engines were used for that launch, and what repairs it may need. In addition, Rocket Tracker keeps a list of all engines used by any of your rockets and will list all of your rockets that can use a given engine. This is especially helpful when you have a couple of engines laying around and want to know which of your rockets could use those engines.

Note: When the International Space Station is on the night side of Earth, the video image is black - this is normal. Please do not worry! Sometimes, the live video is not available due to transmission issues or because the crew is changing cameras. In such cases, you will usually have a blue or blank screen. In a few minutes the transmission should return back to normal, so just relax for a moment.
