🚀 Rocket Launch Sequence - 2D Ascent Profile, Gravity Turn and Orbit

2D companion of the rocket launch simulation: a two-stage launcher flies a gravity-turn ascent over a curved Earth with live altitude, speed, acceleration, dynamic pressure and the resulting orbit, checked against the rocket equation and Kepler period.
