# 🚀 Rocket Static Stability Analyzer
A Python-based engineering application that calculates the **static stability margin** of a rocket and provides a graphical visualization of the rocket, including the **Center of Gravity (CG)** and **Center of Pressure (CP)**.
The project combines aerospace engineering principles with Python programming to help visualize rocket stability in an intuitive way.

## 📖 Overview
Static stability is one of the most important parameters in rocket design. This application allows users to:
- Enter rocket dimensions and aerodynamic parameters.
- Calculate the static margin in calibers.
- Determine whether the rocket is stable.
- Generate a graphical representation of the rocket showing:
- Rocket body
- Nose
- Tail fins
- Center of Gravity (CG)
- Center of Pressure (CP)
- Stability status

## ✨ Features
- 🚀 Rocket stability analysis
- 📏 Static Margin calculation
- 📍 Center of Gravity (CG) visualization
- 📍 Center of Pressure (CP) visualization
- 📊 Automatic stability assessment
- 🎨 Graphical rocket visualization using Matplotlib
- 💾 Automatic export of the generated figure

## 📐 Static Margin Formula
The static margin is calculated using:
\[
\text{Static Margin} = \frac{CP - CG}{Diameter}
\]
Where:
- **CG** = Center of Gravity
- **CP** = Center of Pressure
- **Diameter** = Rocket diameter
The result is expressed in **calibers**, a standard metric used in rocket stability analysis.

## 🖥️ Example Input
Rocket Length (m): 2.0
Center of Gravity (m): 0.8
Center of Pressure (m): 1.2
Rocket Diameter (m): 0.075

## 📈 Example Output
\----- RESULTS -----
Static Margin = 5.33 calibers
Status = STABLE
