Open-source software for hobby and high-power rockets.
FusionSpace makes free software for rocketry: HPR Sim, a flight simulator, and the suite being built around it.
FusionSpace HPR
One suite for hobby and high-power rockets, written in Rust: a flight simulator first, then a flight analyzer, a competition kit and an app. Every product's source and releases live in one repository, nrdptel/fusionspace-eridanus, under the MIT or Apache-2.0 license.
HPR Sim is the one released so far. Before you rely on a number from it, read how far to trust a simulation: what it was checked against, and where it hasn't been.

Other projects
The brand system every FusionSpace tool follows, with its two tools, and the two projects FusionSpace HPR replaces.
| Project | Status | Where |

Web tools
Four tools for the browser that came before FusionSpace HPR. Each will be rebuilt inside it; until its rebuild ships, the tool keeps working at its own address.
| Tool | Status | Where |
|---|---|---|
FS · SW · TOOL 001 HPR Motor FinderAeroTech, Cesaroni and Loki motor stock and prices across U.S. vendors, matched to ThrustCurve. |
Released | motor.fusionspace.co |
FS · SW · TOOL 002 ChargeSizes black-powder ejection charges, every constant shown, with a log of your ground tests. Ground test every charge first. |
Released | charge.fusionspace.co |
FS · SW · TOOL 003 WindowLaunch weather for high-power rocketry at any U.S. field: surface wind, winds aloft, storms, cloud ceiling and a few days ahead. |
Released | window.fusionspace.co |
FS · SW · TOOL 004 MusterWhich reloads, closures and spacers fit each reloadable motor case, and the parts to buy. |

Principles
The rules every FusionSpace tool is designed to. HPR Sim's docs give each model's equations, its sources and what it was validated against.
Show the working
- Formulas, constants and sources are there to read, not hidden.
Say how far to trust it
- Estimates are labeled as estimates, with their spread. Never a go/no-go verdict.
Work at the field
- Readable in sun, with big targets for cold hands. HPR Sim's core needs no network.
No accounts, no tracking
- This site sets no cookies and loads nothing from anyone else. It keeps one thing, your theme choice, in your own browser.
