Abstract
This paper introduces the development of a toolbox for the Space Shuttle Main Engine(SSME) based on MATLAB/Simulink. A mathematical model of rocket engine creation and validation can be a complex process, the development of a rocket engine toolbox simplifies this process, thereby facilitating engine performance optimization as well as new design development. The mathematical modeling of the SSME dealt with in this paper is formed by 32 first-order differential equations derived from seven governing equations. We develop the toolbox for the SSME classifying each module according to the engine components. Further, we confirm the validity of the toolbox by comparing the results of the simulation obtained using the toolbox with those obtained using the original simulation of the engine.
