Launch Stack
Three systems working as one training loop.
Max Apogee is built like a mission pipeline: learn the model, test it in simulation, and debrief with coaching until you can defend each engineering decision.
Stage 1
Flight Concepts
Curriculum CoreConcept-first modules turn thrust, stability, and trajectory math into practical decisions.
Simulator Lab
Hands-OnStudents tweak payload, stages, and reentry parameters and see live outcomes in seconds.
AI Debrief
Guided SupportEvery lesson includes explainable AI support so learners can review why a decision worked.
Students reason through tradeoffs instead of memorizing facts.
Lessons combine theory, simulation, and post-flight reflection.
Learners ship real builds and explain design choices clearly.
Flight Plan
A progression that mirrors real launch operations.
Every step is sequenced so students build intuition first, then gain confidence through decisions, not passive watching.
T-00:00
Choose a mission path
Start with launch fundamentals or jump into a focused topic like reentry or orbital flight.
T+00:20
Study the system map
Lessons present equations, diagrams, and worked examples in one place so concepts stay connected.
T+00:45
Run simulator drills
Experiment with velocity, drag, staging, and guidance choices to see their real consequences.
T+01:10
Validate with assessments
Quizzes and practice prompts identify weak points before students move forward.
T+01:30
Log your mission wins
Track streaks, module milestones, and completed projects as proof of engineering growth.
Trajectory Chooser
Built for different starting points, one engineering standard.
Learners join with different goals, but everyone works through the same mission-oriented framework: reason, simulate, verify, and explain.
Students
Need a clear entry point into aerospace without prior background.
Hobbyists & Model Builders
Want stronger flight intuition before the next build or competition.
Aspiring Engineers
Need practical systems thinking to bridge classwork and design work.
Educators & Teachers
Need structured, reusable content for classroom and club programs.
What every learner gets
- Interactive lessons with worked examples
- Simulation tools for real tradeoff analysis
- Assessment loops to validate understanding
- A nonprofit model that keeps access free
