# Rocket Launch

A guide to simulating rockets with axtools.

Welcome! In this tutorial, we'll be launching a rocket from one planet to land on another. We'll use **modifiers** to simulate forces other than gravity, like thrust.

This guide is broken down into 3 steps:

1. Setting up your template
2. Setting up your script
3. Loading and watching the launch

This guide currently doesn't work due to `axutils.rocket_autopilot`'s inaccuracies during deceleration.
