Design, Build & Test Rocket Engines with This Revolutionary Simulator

Kickstarter Campaign for MECO Rocket Simulator Is Fully Funded and Offers Exquisite Rewards to Backers

London, United Kingdom — February 28, 2023 — Loren Aerospace, a leading software-first new space company, announced its Kickstarter campaign for MECO Rocket Simulator, the first-ever rocket simulator that lets users design, build, and test their own rocket engines.

With MECO, users can create detailed designs of their custom rocket engines and test them in a virtual environment. This allows anyone interested in space travel to learn about rocket engines hands-on without needing expensive and dangerous hardware.

"MECO is a revolutionary tool that will allow people to explore the exciting world of rocket science," said Loren Aerospace Founder Daniel Sim. "I believe this technology will democratize access to space, and we are thrilled to offer it to the public."

The Kickstarter Campaign is fully funded, with only 10 days left to snap up exclusive backer rewards at up to 50% discount. Rewards include 3D printable rocket engine parts and in-game science foundations named after backers.

FEATURES

  • MECO lets players test fuel-oxidizer and coolant combinations and design injectors, pumps, turbines, gearboxes, thrust chambers, and nozzles.
  • Gas and liquid flow in lines and ducts due to pressure and friction are simulated as players experiment with ignition, throttle and shutdown sequences, thrust chamber and nozzle temperatures, and engine cycles.
  • Players tweak the design to get desired pressure, temperature, and flow rate readings, tweak combustion properties, and find safety margins.

FACT SHEET
  • The simulation calculates the state of the engine 100,000 times a second.
  • The creator spent over three years after work and on vacation working it.
  • The accuracy of the simulation is benchmarked against published performance data of the Vulcain Engine. An upgraded Vulcain Engine was used to launch the James Webb Space Telescope.
  • Using Anime for the game's characters was voted in by Meco's Twitter followers.
  • Similarly, a Twitter Poll led to the decision to start a Kickstarter Campaign.
  • Meco is more of an engineering simulation tool wrapped in a game for broader appeal.
  • Over 5700 people have followed Meco on Twitter, and over 1600 have subscribed to Rocket Sim P.S. – MECO's newsletter.
  • Someone with a SpaceX email signed up to get the game. (Rumored to be the Head of Propulsion)
