Vehicle sizing that fits on one screen.

The Hangar is a practical two-stage sizing assistant: pick your assumptions, get a mass breakdown, check TWR, and generate a copyable mission packet.

The Hangar tool

A two-stage sizing assistant that turns assumptions into a deployable mission packet.

Delta-v planning

Use a quick orbital estimate (altitude plus losses) or enter your own total ascent delta-v.

  • v_circ = sqrt(mu / r)
  • Losses: drag + gravity + steering
  • Stage split + feasibility check

Mass breakdown

Given Isp and structural fraction, compute stage prop/dry and overall liftoff mass.

  • Two-stage rocket equation sizing
  • Impossible configs flagged
  • Payload plus extras accounted

TWR sanity

Bring thrust (kN) and get liftoff and upper-stage start TWR as quick red/green checks.

  • Liftoff thrust-to-weight
  • Upper-stage start TWR
  • Assumption transparency

Mission packet

Auto-generates a copyable brief you can paste into a doc, issue, or flight readout.

  • Inputs plus computed outputs
  • Units included
  • Timestamped

How it works

It's intentionally first-pass: fast, assumption-driven, and honest about feasibility.

Two-stage sizing model

For each stage we solve for the stage mass that delivers the requested delta-v given Isp and structural fraction. If your assumptions imply an impossible mass ratio, the tool calls it out.
