  • Example simulation runs successfully
  • Team understands basic RocketPy classes
  • Ready to extract benchmark test cases

Status: ✅ PASSED - Ready to proceed to Phase 2

📅 Next Steps

Immediate (Next Session)

  1. Complete Phase 1, Day 1 Afternoon (1-2 hours)

    • Read RocketPy documentation: https://docs.rocketpy.org/
    • Review Environment, Motor, Rocket, Flight class documentation
    • Understand coordinate systems and conventions
    • Optional: Run Jupyter notebook examples

  2. Prepare for Phase 2: Benchmark Extraction (Critical!)

    • Identify 3-5 "golden" test cases from PyROPS
    • Criteria for selection:
      • Well-validated simulations
      • Cover different flight regimes
      • Exercise major features (hybrid motor, parachute, etc.)
    • Gather all input files for selected cases
    • Prepare PyROPS for benchmark runs

This Week

  1. Phase 2, Days 3-4: Extract Benchmarks ⚠️ CRITICAL PHASE

    • Document test case parameters
    • Run PyROPS simulations
    • Record reference outputs (apogee, velocity, trajectory, etc.)
    • Archive all data
    • DO NOT SKIP - Validation depends on this

  2. Phase 3, Days 5-6: Data Conversion

    • Convert RASAero Excel files to CSV
    • Convert thrust curves
    • Convert atmosphere data
    • Convert wind profiles
    • Validate conversions

⚠️ Critical Reminders

  1. VALIDATION IS MANDATORY

    • Extract benchmarks before proceeding to implementation
    • All PyROPS physics must be preserved
    • 0.1% tolerance for key metrics
    • Physics team sign-off required

  2. DO NOT SKIP BENCHMARKING

    • Phase 2 (Days 3-4) is critical
    • Cannot validate without reference data
    • Schedule this as highest priority

  3. KEEP PYROPS INTACT

    • Do not modify ASRI_Simulator/ folder
    • Needed for benchmark comparisons
    • Archive after migration complete

  4. GIT DISCIPLINE

    • Commit after each phase
    • Use descriptive messages
    • Current branch: main
    • Consider creating feature branch for implementation

📈 Performance Comparison (Projected)

Metric PyROPS RocketPy (Expected) Improvement
Single Simulation 1-5 min <10 sec 10-30x faster
Monte Carlo (1000 runs) 24-48 hours <2 hours 12-24x faster
Code Quality Poor Excellent ✓
Validation Informal Peer-reviewed ✓
Cross-platform No (Windows) Yes ✓
Documentation Minimal Excellent ✓

✅ Success Criteria (Not Yet Met)

Phase 1 Complete (50% done):

  • RocketPy installed
  • Example simulation runs
  • Team familiar with RocketPy API
  • Ready for benchmark extraction

Overall Project Success (pending):

  • All benchmark tests pass (within 0.1%)
  • Physics team approves
  • 10-30x performance improvement demonstrated
  • Team trained
  • Documentation complete
  • Production simulations successful

🚀 Timeline Projection

Completed: 1 day (Day 1) Remaining: 10-14 days minimum Target Completion: 2-3 weeks from start

Milestones:

  • ✅ Day 1: Environment setup
  • 🎯 Day 2: RocketPy familiarization
  • 🎯 Day 4: Benchmarks extracted ⚠️ CRITICAL
  • 🎯 Day 6: Data converted
  • 🎯 Day 9: Implementation complete
  • 🎯 Day 11: Validation passes ⚠️ CRITICAL
  • 🎯 Day 15: Production ready

📝 Notes

  • RocketPy 1.10.0 uses slightly different attribute names than expected:

    • max_speed instead of max_velocity
    • max_mach_number for Mach
    • x_impact, y_impact for landing position
    • Documentation will be updated with correct naming

  • Virtual environment uses Python 3.13.5 (latest stable)

  • All packages installed via uv pip (fast installer)

  • Example simulation runs cleanly without warnings

Status: On track, ahead of schedule (completed Day 1 in <1 day) Next Session: Complete familiarization, prepare for benchmarking Blockers: None Risks: Need to allocate time for benchmark extraction (critical path)
