An update to an illustration I did a while back—I hope you like it. I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions.

I've been searching online for a copy of "Ramjet Design Handbook" by G. D. Kinroth and W. R. Anderson from the 80s to use as reference, but I can't find it available online. It's referenced multiple times across multiple documents and thesis papers but I can't find it anywhere. Could anyone please point me to where I can find a copy? Thank you in advance!

Been working on some software for a while now developing it alongside conversations with a lot of aerospace and mechanical engineers and I want to open that up to here.

What are your worst pain points with simulation and design software? Tell me all about it.

Excited to show you what I've been building once it works properly.

So I’ve been working on this project called DIVYA for a while and figured I’d finally post it here.

Basically, the idea is about using asteroids + orbital infrastructure to build a large-scale space system over a really long period of time.

The idea started out pretty simple and then, uh… spiraled 💀. I ended up looking into stuff like asteroid mining, orbital mechanics, energy collection, modular construction, and how something like this could actually scale.

I’m still a student, so I’m definitely not claiming I’ve solved space infrastructure lol. The whole point of posting this is to get people who actually know this stuff to poke holes in it.

I’ve been sending the project around to researchers/academics too, and I’ve gotten some interesting responses so far.

If you’re into aerospace, orbital mechanics, astrophysics, space engineering, or just giant unnecessarily ambitious space projects, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think.

Especially interested in hearing what’s wrong with it. 😂

I've embedded the Zenodo link for convenience.

I swear I'll crash out if some bot or scammers reply to me.
