This submission is a MATLAB script named rocket_matlab that can be used to predict and optimize the performance of single-stage rockets. The software will predict maximum altitude or determine the optimum launch mass that maximizes altitude.
The rocket computer program implements the following models and numerical methods:
  • U.S. Standard 1976 atmosphere model
  • Linear interpolation of rocket engine thrust-time tabular data
  • Numerical solution of the differential equations of rocket flight
  • Combination of event-finding with one-dimensional optimization
