liftoff

SpaceX telemetry parser and modelling application written in C++.

This takes the telemetry feed downloaded from SpaceX's livestream and attempts to model the dynamic forces acting on the rocket. The current iteration uses data from the JCSAT-18/KACIFIC1 mission. The results are plotted using MathGL's FLTK library as the model is updated. This then uses the processed data in a new model that attempts to replicate the rocket to validate the model and extract other data such as thrust and other controls.
