OpenRocket is an free, fully featured model rocket simulator that allows you to design and simulate your rockets before actually building and flying them.

OpenRocket features a full six-degree-of-freedom simulation, realistic wind modeling, a multitude of different components including free-form fins and canted fins, clustering and staging. Read more about its features and see screenshots. 

Features:

General
 Fully cross-platform, written in Java 
 Fully documented simulation methods 
 Open Source, source code available under the GNU GPL 

User interface
 Easy-to-use user interface for rocket design 
 Real-time view of CG and CP position 
 Real-time flight altitude, velocity and acceleration information from a continuous simulation performed in the background 
 Zoomable schematic view of rocket from the side or rear, with rotation around the center axis 

Design
 A multitude of available components to choose from 
 Trapezoidal, elliptical and free-form fins supported 
 Support for canted fins (roll stabilization) 
 Staging and clustering support 
 Automatic calculation of component mass and CG based on shape and density 
 Ability to override mass and CG of components or stages separately 

Simulation and analysis
 Full six degree of freedom simulation 
 Rocket stability computed using extended Barrowman method 
 Realistic wind modeling 
 Analysis of the effect of separate components on the stability, drag and roll characteristics of the rocket 
 Fully configurable plotting, with various preset configurations 
 Simulation data can be exported to CSV files for further analysis 
 Simulation listeners allowing custom-made code to interact with the rocket during flight simulation
