There was a problem though; solid rocket motors are far too common to be interesting, and even hybrid rocket engines are becoming passé. We’ve never seen a liquid-fuel rocket build before ...

Liquid systems often rely on toxic chemicals like hydrazine, and solid systems can’t be turned on and off, limiting scientists’ ability to control them. Hybrid rockets, which date back to the 1930s, ...

Hybrid rockets have significant advantages over solid and liquid rockets in terms of storage, handling and safety. They also offer controllable thrust, including the ability to shut down and re-ignite ...

Liquid fuelled engines are throttleable ... they’re going full-bore until burnout. Hybrid rocket engines offer perks from both worlds, with simple solid fuel and the ability to throttle down ...

All rockets used some form of solid or powdered propellant up until the 20th century, when liquid-propellant rockets offered more efficient and controllable alternatives. Solid rockets are still used ...

But the twentieth-century saw a technological explosion of new rocket-propulsion systems, using both solid and liquid propellants. Rocket-powered vehicles were developed for two primary purposes: ...

India launched its first reusable hybrid rocket ‘RHUMI- 1’, developed ... The RHUMI-1 rocket combines the advantages of both liquid and solid fuel propellant systems to improve efficiency ...

So were many other space-crazy children; for, Mission Rhumi – launched in Chennai on August 24 – is India’s first reusable hybrid rocket ... of both liquid oxidiser and solid fuel propellant ...
