optimize_launch_angle
Calculate optimal rocket launch angles to achieve maximum altitude or specific target ranges using aerospace engineering parameters.
Instructions

Implementation Reference
- aerospace_mcp/tools/rockets.py:145-181 (handler)The primary handler function for the 'optimize_launch_angle' MCP tool. It processes input parameters, attempts to delegate to the integrations/rockets optimizer (which may not be implemented), and returns JSON-formatted results or error messages.
