Technical documentation
How to use RustPEP, and the design notes for the MAD prototype.
RustPEP
Installing and using the propellant evaluation software.
Getting started
Install RustPEP and evaluate your first propellant recipe.
Understanding the results
What each number RustPEP reports means, and how far to trust it.
Studies and comparison
Sweep a variable, find the peak-Isp mix, and compare recipes side by side.
Custom ingredients
Add an ingredient that is not in the built-in library.
Burn rate and BurnSim export
Characterize burn rate from test firings and carry the results into BurnSim.
Command-line runner
The propep command-line tool that shares RustPEP's calculation engine.
Data sources and limits
Where RustPEP's method and data come from, and what the results do not tell you.
MAD
Design notes for the magnetic apogee detector prototype.
Overview and status
What MAD is, how it detects apogee, and where the prototype stands.
Architecture
Power, firing, sensing and control in the Rev A design.
Safety state machine
The states MAD's firmware moves through, and the hardware interlock beneath them.
Design calculations
Stored firing energy, bleeder timing and the magnetometer apogee criterion.
Verification plan
The staged testing Rev A must pass before it is connected to an initiator or flown.
