Missiles & Rockets

This page is where you can expand rocket physics, staging, guidance, and propulsion. This page also contains the Rocket Simulator.

Key formulas

  • Tsiolkovsky: Δv = v_e * ln(m0 / mf)
  • Thrust: Thrust = ṁ * v_e
  • Burn time: t = (m0 - mf) / ṁ

Rocket Simulator

Try launching a virtual rocket. Adjust the fuel, mass, and exhaust velocity to see your max speed.
