Track Launch HeightsAccurate altitude tracking for rockets
Discover exactly how high your launches reach with the Estes Alti Trak altitude measurement tool. Designed for precise field calculation, this essential model rocket altitude tracker uses proven geometric principles to determine peak flight height at apogee. Perfect for hobbyists and educational STEM projects, the Estes Alti Trak delivers instant metric readings on launch day.
Precision Trigonometry Made SimpleMeasure model rocket launch apogee
Take the guesswork out of launch performance with the Estes Alti Trak model rocket accessory. Visual estimates of rocket heights are notoriously inaccurate, but the Estes Alti Trak provides a simple, reliable method grounded in geometric triangulation. Simply pace off a 300-foot baseline from the launch pad, track the ascending rocket through the integrated sight crosshairs, and release the spring-loaded trigger when the model reaches its peak height. The locking swing arm clearly indicates the maximum altitude in meters, making it an indispensable tool for Estes model rockets flight analysis and competitive launching.

Frequently Asked QuestionsEverything you need to know
How far from the launch pad should I stand when using the Estes Alti Trak?
To ensure accurate altitude readings, the operator using the Estes Alti Trak should pace off exactly 300 feet (91.4 meters) from the launch pad before tracking the launch.
How does the Estes Alti Trak measure model rocket flight height?
The Estes Alti Trak utilizes geometric triangulation. By following the rocket through the crosshair sight and releasing the trigger at apogee, the swing arm locks into position against a scale calibrated for a 300-foot baseline.
Does the Estes Alti Trak require batteries to operate?
No, the Estes Alti Trak is a fully mechanical sight-and-trigger instrument that requires no batteries or electronic components.
How do I convert the Estes Alti Trak measurement from meters to feet?
To convert the altitude read on the Estes Alti Trak from meters to feet, divide the metric reading by 0.3048 (or multiply by approximately 3.28).
