whose objective is to enable accurate prediction of the performance, reliability, and safety of complex physical systems through computational simulation. CSAR's mission is to achieve this same goal in the specific context of solid propellant rockets, which are of vital importance to the space launch industry.

A particular focus for CSAR is on the reusable solid rocket motor (RSRM) that powers the U.S. Space Shuttle.

This research is carried out by an interdisciplinary team of approximately eighty faculty, staff, and students spanning several academic departments. Administratively, CSAR is part of Computational Science and Engineering,
