The Rocket class models a rocket trajectory by a series of phases. A phase end can be triggered by many events, all of which will be implemented in this issue. So far here is the list:

  • Maximum altitude (trigger to begin pitchover phase)
  • Minimum mass (trigger to stop thrust)
  • Maximum dynamic pressure (trigger to throttle down to reduce max q)
  • Rocket has reached orbit (won't crash to Earth surface assuming two-body dynamics)
  • More conditions likely to be added
