want to reflect a 2D image

Hello I need some help. I have added a rocket as a 2D image inside a Plotting Panel. The rocket moves along the x axis in the positive direction with some variable speed v. A soon as the velocity turns negative I would like the rocket image to flip so as to point always in the direction of movement.
I have tried with the transformation editor in the Transform element of the popup panel. In it I see an item called Matrix Transf. It is a 2*3 matrix and I have not been able to make it work.
I guess at some point I would need to insert a -1 for a reflection in the y axis, in the form Math.signum(v) or so. Can somebody help me?. Thanks a lot.

Javier,
A very simple solution is to multiply the size of the rocket by -1. See attached example.
Another (perhaps more physical) solution is to rotate the rocket according to the velocity vector.
(I mean it is more physical because physical rockets rotate but do not flip.)
