Ignis is an interactive rocket launch simulation platform built to let users design, test, and launch virtual rockets through realistic mission scenarios. The platform focuses on propulsion physics, launch dynamics, trajectory control, and mission planning in an engaging digital environment.
Users can experiment with rocket configurations, simulate launches, optimize flight paths, and explore aerospace concepts through hands-on learning and engineering-driven gameplay.
- Rocket launch simulation with realistic mechanics
- Propulsion, thrust, and stage behavior testing
- Flight trajectory and altitude analysis
- Mission planning and launch sequence control
- Sandbox mode for experimentation
- Educational aerospace learning experience
- Interactive dashboards and telemetry data
- Future-ready multiplayer challenges and competitions
Ignis aims to make rocket science accessible, exciting, and interactive for students, enthusiasts, developers, and future aerospace innovators.
Ignis is derived from the Latin word for fire — representing ignition, energy, propulsion, and the spark that powers every launch.
A rocket's pitch program (often paired with a roll program) is a pre-programmed flight computer command sequence that tilts a rocket away from a purely vertical liftoff into a curved, horizontal trajectory needed to reach orbital velocity

PEG is a technique for guiding rockets to their target orbits. It's called "Powered Explicit" because it models thrust acceleration (T / m) explicitly and solves for a thrust/steering profile needed to reach the target state.
