RocketSmith: Agentic Additive Manufacturing of High-Powered Rockets
Abstract
An agentic system using large language models automates high-power rocket design processes, enabling successful flight testing with consistent simulation results.
RocketSmith is an agentic system which intelligently automates the DFAM process for the development of high powered rockets suitable for launch. The system utilizes a large language model to orchestrate the execution of software tools to validate design characteristics such as flight stability and generate the parametric design components for the rocket assembly. A collection of subagents and skills enable optimization workflows of 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 of additive manufacturing. These assembly components were fabricated using various FDM 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 the agentic system, establishing consistency between simulation and experimentation.
