SSTS is an ongoing software development project to improve the flight simulation capabilities of the SSTA. Existing software utilized in amateur rocketry supports flight simulations using rocket motor models or data exported from other programs. However, this makes it impossible to simulate for certain aspects of the flight such as the impact of pressure thrust, particularly on higher altitude flights. By simulating propulsion and flight simultaneously, SSTS will make easier the development and simulations of our SRAD motors.

Early development is ongoing, while usage may be negotiated at a later stage of development.

HRAP is an hybrid rocket motor characterization program developed and maintained by Drew Nickel. His project started when he was an undergraduate student at UTK, he is currently a graduate student and a long-time SSTA member. Contact rnickel1@vols.utk.edu for more information.

It is currently in development and unavailable for public release.
