# Enhanced Simulation Hardware Abstraction Framework

PHAROS — Platform for Hierarchical Articulated Rigid-Body and Orbital Simulation — combines spacecraft orbital, attitude, and articulated-body dynamics in a modular C++ Physics Core, with a Windows application for scenario setup and interactive 3D playback. Model moving assemblies, configure forces and actuators, and supply your own C++ controller.

Reproducible aerocapture + EDL braking trade studies with audit-grade telemetry and verification—compare baselines, enforce q/g/heating constraints, and rerun results from a single config.

Multi-physics simulation suite and baseline architecture for a Fusion-Boosted Laser-Ablative (FBLA) space propulsion system featuring PyTorch GPU MHD nozzle solvers, acoustic tritium breeding, and quad-cluster flight dynamics.
