About RocketSalvo

RocketSalvo is a high-power rocketry software and electronics brand, created by Geoffrey Huber.

What we make

RocketSalvo has two products. RustPEP is desktop software that evaluates a propellant recipe: chamber temperature, specific impulse, characteristic velocity and combustion products, with studies, comparison and burn-rate fitting around it.

MAD, the Magnetic Apogee Detector, is flight electronics that detect apogee from the rocket’s orientation in the Earth’s magnetic field. It is prototype hardware under development and is not flight qualified.

Principles

How the products are built.

Say what a number is

An ideal prediction is labelled as an ideal prediction. A specification that is not finalized is marked as not finalized.

Put safety where software cannot reach

Where a design can fire an initiator, the arming interlock belongs in the hardware path, and the design is reviewed and tested in stages before it goes near one.
