| Abstract Scope |
This work presents RocketSmith, an agentic system capable of the design, manufacturing, and iteration for the development of high powered rockets. The system enables the intelligent automation of software tools as to not only validate factors such as flight stability but also generate the parametric design components for the rocket assembly. A collection of subagents and skills enable the optimization of flight parameters via iteration in both zero-shot and human-in-the-loop workflows. With this system, four distinct high power rockets with various motor and assembly configurations were developed utilizing the unique design capabilities of additive manufacturing. These assembly components were fabricated using various FDM printers, manually evaluated for flight readiness, and flight tested at a launch event. From these tests, the two of the four rockets were successfully recovered in reflyable condition and collected flight data established an 85% altitude accuracy to performed flight simulations. |
