Team

Spaceflight Dynamics Framework (SDF) is currently developed as a focused open-source aerospace engineering and simulation project combining spacecraft dynamics, propulsion modeling, guidance and control systems, telemetry workflows, and modular software architecture.

The project originated as a lunar landing simulation and is evolving toward a broader research-oriented framework for spacecraft dynamics experimentation, frontend/backend decoupling, telemetry-driven analysis, and future autonomous flight applications.

Development follows an open engineering philosophy with emphasis on transparency, modularity, reproducibility, and contribution-friendly architecture design.

Open-Source Collaboration

SDF is currently transitioning toward a more collaborative open-source development model. Contributions in simulation, control theory, aerospace software engineering, telemetry, ROS integration, frontend systems, optimization, and spacecraft dynamics are highly welcome.

The framework is intentionally structured around modular subsystem boundaries to make contribution, experimentation, and future architectural evolution easier.
