This is a simulation I made that simulates the Spinlaunch mechanism. Within this software, you can launch a rocket through a centrifugal accelerator and send it to orbit. You can set the parameters for the rocket, such as the payload mass, fuel mass, consumption, thrust, etc. You can also specify the dimensions of the centrifuge, the speed and angle of release, the inertia of the rocket + handle, the power of the motor, and the desired altitude.

Here are some things you should keep in mind :
-There are several visual bugs(they do not contribute to the physics
-There is NO DRAG (it is too complicated for me to code)
