RocketSIM

• Simulation of rocket from launch to apogee
• Plots Altitude, Velocity, Acceleration
• Accounts for Aerodynamic Drag
• Constantly calculates and predicts apogee based on current flap configuration
• Active Drag Control System (ADCS) with PID/LQR controller for rocket to reach desired apogee (5200 m)
• Simulated Noisy Sensor Data from IMU/Barometer
• State Estimation using Kalman Filter with inputted noisy sensor data

Future Additions to RocketSIM

• Randomized wind vector
• RK4 propogation
