Rocket-propulsion maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The delta-v endpoint applies the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation, Δv = ve·ln(m0/mf) with the exhaust velocity ve = Isp·g0, to give the velocity change a stage can produce from its wet (fuelled) mass, dry (burnout) mass and specific impulse — the delta-v budget that determines which manoeuvres are possible. The mass-ratio endpoint inverts the equation to give the mass ratio m0/mf = exp(Δv/ve) and the propellant mass fraction required to achieve a target delta-v, and, given a dry mass, the wet mass and propellant needed — revealing the steep, exponential tyranny of the rocket equation. The burn endpoint computes the propellant mass-flow rate ṁ = thrust/ve, the burn time and the total impulse from the thrust and propellant mass, and the delta-v if the wet mass is given. Masses are in kilograms, specific impulse in seconds, exhaust velocity and delta-v in metres per second and thrust in newtons, with standard gravity g0 = 9.80665 m/s². Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for aerospace, model-rocketry, spaceflight-simulation and orbital-mission app developers, stage-sizing and trajectory tools, and physics education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is rocket propulsion; for orbital velocity and escape velocity use an orbital-mechanics API.

Track rocket launches from around the world. List upcoming and past launches with launch windows and live status, search by rocket or mission, get full detail for any launch, browse the space agencies behind them, and follow upcoming spaceflight events. Every launch comes as a clean record with the rocket configuration and family, launch service provider, mission name, type, orbit and description, pad and location, weather probability, webcast-live flag and imagery — sourced from The Space Devs’ Launch Library 2. Delivered through a fast, reliable API, ideal for countdown widgets, space-news sites, education tools, calendars and hobbyist apps.
