Abstract
An agentic system using large language models automates high-power rocket design processes, enabling successful flight testing with consistent simulation results.
RocketSmith is anagentic systemwhich intelligently automates theDFAM processfor the development of high powered rockets suitable for launch. The system utilizes alarge language modelto orchestrate the execution of software tools to validate design characteristics such asflight stabilityand generate theparametric designcomponents for the rocket assembly. A collection of subagents and skills enableoptimization workflowsof 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 ofadditive manufacturing. These assembly components were fabricated using variousFDM printers, manually evaluated for flight readiness, and flight tested at a launch event. From these tests, all rockets achieved a stable launch and two of the four rockets were successfully recovered in reflyable condition. The altimeter data validated that the rockets achieved an altitude 80% of the expected apogee predicted by theagentic system, establishing consistency between simulation and experimentation.
