This project simulates an AI-optimized launch vehicle based on Falcon 9 telemetry data. The AI rocket is designed to be:
4–5% more fuel efficient than Falcon 9.
Reaches a 600 km orbit in 95% of the time compared to Falcon 9.
The dataset AI_model_rocket_with_more_intervals.csv contains simulated telemetry for 578 seconds of flight with ~30 columns of flight parameters, derived and estimated from Falcon 9 data.
Telemetry_data_falcon_9.csv Real Falcon 9 telemetry reference dataset.
AI model rocket.csv Initial AI rocket dataset (shorter, fewer columns).
AI_model_rocket_fledged.csv Expanded AI rocket dataset with full telemetry timeline and derived physics columns.
AI_model_rocket_fledged.zip Zipped version for easy download.
Columns in AI_model_rocket_fledged.csv
Some of the key columns include:
time — mission elapsed time (s)
velocity, velocity_x, velocity_y — rocket velocity (m/s)
altitude — altitude (m)
acceleration — acceleration (m/s²)
downrange_distance — horizontal distance traveled (m)
angle — flight path angle (deg)
thrust — thrust output (N)
propellant — fuel remaining (kg)
mass_flow_rate — rate of propellant consumption (kg/s)
propellant_est, mass_flow_rate_est — adjusted values (AI rocket, 4.5% more efficient)
rho_est — estimated atmospheric density (kg/m³)
q / dynamic_pressure_est — dynamic pressure (Pa)
mach_est — Mach number
kinetic_energy_est — kinetic energy (J)
potential_energy_est — potential energy (J)
delta_v, cum_delta_v — incremental and cumulative Δv (m/s)
apoapsis_est, periapsis_est — estimated orbital elements (km, rough)
Units: Treated as SI (m, s, N, kg), though original Falcon telemetry may differ.
Efficiency: AI rocket consumes 4.5% less fuel for equivalent thrust.
Orbit Target: AI rocket reaches 600 km ~502.6 s (95% of Falcon’s 529 s).
Physics Models: Approximations used for density, drag, Mach, orbital estimates. Results are indicative, not precise.
