Curious how high your rocket really flew? The Estes AltiTrak™ makes altitude tracking simple, fun, and accurate without the cost of expensive electronics. With just a quick pull of the trigger, you can follow your rocket through its flight path and capture its peak altitude in seconds.

Originally designed for educational use, the AltiTrak is also a favorite tool for hobbyists, clubs, and rocket enthusiasts of all levels. Use a single tracker for quick altitude readings or pair two AltiTraks for even more precise measurements. Lightweight and easy to use, it won’t interfere with your rocket’s performance—just pure, measurable flight data every time.

  • Easy to Use: Simply pull the trigger, follow the rocket, and lock in your reading.
  • Affordable Accuracy: Track altitudes without costly electronics or added rocket mass.
  • Great for Education: Engages students with real-world data collection and analysis.
  • Precision Potential: Use two AltiTraks for greater accuracy in measuring altitude.
  • Versatile Tool: Perfect for classrooms, hobby launches, and science projects alike.

Overview

The Estes AltiTrak™ is the classic, hands-on way to measure your rocket’s altitude without sacrificing performance or relying on expensive altimeters. Built with an easy trigger-and-sight system, it allows you to track your rocket’s flight path up to apogee, then instantly locks in the measurement for quick reference. The process is simple, reliable, and perfect for frequent use at launches.

Designed for Learning and Fun

Ideal for educational settings, the AltiTrak transforms any rocket launch into a real-world science experiment. Students can practice data collection, compare results, and graph flight performance, all while enjoying the thrill of rocketry. It’s an excellent tool for demonstrating geometry, physics, and engineering principles in a way that’s both engaging and memorable.

Boost Accuracy with Teamwork

While a single AltiTrak provides dependable results, using two trackers in tandem delivers even greater precision. With readings taken from two different positions, students or hobbyists can apply triangulation to calculate exact altitudes. This hands-on collaboration enhances accuracy while teaching valuable teamwork and problem-solving skills.

A Must-Have for Rocketeers

Whether you’re a teacher looking to enrich your STEM curriculum or a hobbyist eager to push your rockets higher, the AltiTrak delivers practical, affordable altitude measurement. Lightweight, portable, and easy to use, it’s the perfect tool for turning every launch into a measurable success story.

Could be better

Tracker works fine but mine came with the front cross hair not in and I had to get it put into the plastic, the trigger is thin enough and the spring is strong enough to cause some discomfort while using it.

Kid-friendly

Simple to use- we use it with students as young as 6 with great success

requires a long distance footprint...

I've used the AltiTrak for years with my physical science students at the 8th and 9th grade levels. It does require a position at least 76 m distance from the launchpad to be accurate. And students must be trained and have time to practice using it to be accurate. If you have lower level students or very short class periods, it may not be the best choice.
