// 01 — Interactive lab
The physics of a launch, live.
The same calculations we run before every flight — from thrust curve to orbit. Change the inputs and watch the outcome.
Flight simulator
Try it · Shrink the fins to 50% and watch apogee collapse. Then push thrust until T/W drops below 1.
What it is
Predicting a flight before it happens — the same thing OpenRocket does for every rocket we build.
How it works
- 1Thrust minus drag minus weight gives acceleration; integrate it 100 times a second.
- 2Mass drops as propellant burns; air thins with altitude so drag falls off.
- 3Small fins drop the stability margin below 1 caliber — the rocket wobbles, bleeds energy and loses apogee.

Join a launch crew.
Every flight needs propulsion, avionics, structures, recovery and simulation. Pick where you want to start.
Propulsion
Design grains, run static fires and analyse thrust curves.
Avionics
Build flight computers, telemetry radios and ground stations.
Aerostructures
Airframes, fins, nose cones and composite layups.
Recovery & payload
Parachutes, deployment systems and CanSat payloads.
Simulation & analysis
OpenRocket, MATLAB/Python sims and flight data review.
