Artificial Intelligence
Building neural architectures that don't just learn — they reason. From reinforcement learning for autonomous navigation to generative models that design the unimaginable.

Pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence, advanced optics, and rocket propulsion — from the heart of Java to the edge of space.
Mission Sim
Launch Falcon 9, Soyuz, Saturn V, Ariane 5, Artemis, or custom rockets with live telemetry, staging, and payload deployment.
Planner
Plan Hohmann transfers, compare mission profiles, inspect burn timing, and read orbital warnings directly on the canvas.
AI Lab
Train a small neural network in real time, watch the decision boundary evolve, and track loss and accuracy as it learns.
Motor Design
Design solid motor grain geometry, simulate pressure and thrust, inspect Kn, then compare against static-fire test data.
3D Explorer
Inspect legendary spacecraft presets. Drag, zoom, rotate, or snap stages in real-time, fully assembled or in exploded view.
Jewawud Propulsion Laboratory is an independent research collective based in Semarang, Indonesia. We operate at the intersection of three high-frontier disciplines — not because it's easy, but because the universe doesn't care about departmental boundaries.
Our name might sound like a big-budget space agency, and honestly? That's the energy we're going for. We believe remarkable research can come from anywhere — even a city better known for its lumpia than its launch vehicles.
We build things that think, things that see, and things that fly. Sometimes all three at once.

Bending light to our will. We research photonic metamaterials, adaptive optical systems, and laser propagation — because seeing further starts with understanding how light actually works.

From hybrid motors to ion thrusters — we design, simulate, and test propulsion systems that trade gravity for velocity. Every launch starts with a crazy idea and a lot of math.

● Active
A real-time object detection and tracking system that fuses multi-spectral optical sensors with deep learning inference on edge hardware. Designed for autonomous UAV navigation in GPS-denied environments.
● Active
A modular hybrid rocket motor test platform using 3D-printed fuel grains and regeneratively-cooled nozzles. Currently in static fire test phase with a target thrust of 500N.
◐ In Development
Metamaterial-based reconfigurable intelligent surfaces for adaptive beamforming and wavefront correction. Applications range from satellite communications to astronomical imaging.
◇ Research Phase
An AI-driven thrust vector control system that uses reinforcement learning to optimize flight trajectory in real-time. Because rockets should be smart enough to steer themselves.

Mission objective, safety framing, test campaign, and roadmap now read like a proper propulsion research article.
May 15, 2026
Falcon 9, Soyuz, Saturn V, Ariane 5, Artemis/SLS, and custom configuration now share richer telemetry and staging behavior.
May 15, 2026
NOVA, PRISM, AEGIS, and IGNIS now include stronger technical framing, large share previews, and structured data.
We're a multinational crew of researchers, engineers, and dreamers united by a shared obsession: building things that push the boundaries of what's possible. From Semarang to Stockholm, Tokyo to Toronto.
Self-taught rocketeer from an unlikely background. Believes the best way to understand gravity is to escape it.
