It is actually using a hollow cylinder of acrylic as the fuel, with gaseous oxygen as an oxidizer. We’re already quite familiar with solid rocket propellant, but this hybrid approach is much ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

India's Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has developed a 10-tonne propellant mixer for solid motors. This mixer was created ...

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 ...

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 ...
