FICTIONAL PLANNING ARTIFACT. "Apogee Launch Co." is an invented company. Nothing here builds, tests, or flies a rocket. "To space" means a suborbital flight crossing the Kármán line (100 km); orbital flight is out of scope. All figures are planned targets, not measured results.

What is being delivered

A fictional 24-month program plan for a 5-person, $200M rocket company whose goal is a first suborbital flight across the Kármán line (100 km), delivered as:

  1. A canonical plan model (src/plan.mjs) — phases, crew, milestones, budget,

risks, and a deterministic generator for all 730 days.

  1. A standalone, browser-openable interactive website (public/index.html)

built from that model with a day-by-day planner.

  1. A verification suite (verify.mjs) asserting the plan's consistency,

completeness, and determinism.

  1. A full IRS_AUDITOR proof package (proof/).

Success criteria (MUST_PASS)

  • All 730 days are generated; day indices are contiguous and unique.
  • The 10 phases tile Day 1–730 with no gaps/overlaps; every day maps to one phase.
  • Budget allocation sums to exactly $200M; cumulative spend is monotonic, never

exceeds the cap, and reserves contingency.

  • All milestones fall within range, ascending, inside a phase; a single FLIGHT

milestone targets 100 km in the launch window.

  • Crew is exactly 5; every phase/milestone lead is a real crew member.
  • Plan generation is deterministic; the website builds and embeds all 730 days.

In scope

  • A complete, day-resolved program plan and its interactive presentation.
  • Phase gates, milestones, budget model, crew model, and risk register.

Out of scope (disclosed seams)

  • Building, testing, or flying any actual rocket hardware.
  • Orbital flight (suborbital only).
  • Real cost quotes, supplier lead times, regulatory dates, or any claim that the

24-month schedule is achievable in reality.

Definition of done

verify.mjs is green, the Proof Layer has run and its gate permits delivery and publication, the site is published to published/rocket-24-month-plan/, and the portfolio is rebuilt.
