Optimization of Payload for Multi-Stage Rockets

by Clayton Vanis

 

Submitted : Fall 2013


This Project seeks to give a mathematical analysis on the basic optimization of a multiple staged rocket based upon payload. The model will utilize classical Newtonian mechanics to provide a cohesive understanding of modern rocketry. The results will depict the reasoning behind building such colossal machines that will simply shed weight mid flight.
