[KoD] and [Navic] are building solid propellant motors using sugar and potassium nitrate. They cook up the two ingredients along with water and a bonding agent. They find that corn syrup is ...

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 ...

A solid-propellant rocket or solid rocket is a rocket with a rocket engine that uses solid propellants (fuel/oxidizer). The earliest rockets were solid-fuel rockets powered by gunpowder; they were ...

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully developed a 10-tonne propellant mixer for solid motors. This ...

Solid-fuel rockets are the dream weapons of military rocketeers. They have no pumps or valves to go wrong and are always ready to fire. Their big trouble is that they are harder to control than ...

Boron is the fifth lightest element, has a high intrinsic energy density, and is cheap, abundant and stable — making it of interest as a solid rocket fuel and as an additive to jet fuels to ...

Solid rocket fuel contains an oxidizing agent such as potassium perchlorate or sodium perchlorate. The Kheibar Shekan is an Iranian medium-range solid-fuel ballistic missile. According to the ...

Solid fuel offers greater mobility for missiles and rockets, and reduces launch preparation time. But Washington had imposed strict restrictions on Seoul’s use of solid propellant for space ...
