Cambridge Rocketry Simulator V3.0

The third version of the Cambridge Rocketry Simulator consists of three parts to simulating a high power rocket flight. First the user is able to build a rocket from basic components using a GUI. Second, a verified and reviewed physics model simulates the rocket flight, this includes a Monte Carlo wrapper to quantify the uncertainty in dynamics and atmosphere. Finally, the visualization of the resulting trajectories includes nominal performance and uncertainty analysis, e.g. a splash-down region with confidence bounds. The project is available on SourceForge, and is written in Java (GUI), C++ (simulation core) and Python (visualization). While all parts can be executed from the GUI, the three components share information via XML, accommodating modifications, and re-use of individual components. The software can used to simulate the flight of unguided rockets, with both design and operational applications.
