Hybrid Rocket Propulsion

Hybrid rocket propulsion uses a combination of a solid fuel and a liquid or gaseous oxidizer to produce thrust. The solid fuel stores the energy, while the liquid or gas oxidizer is injected to ignite and sustain combustion. This design offers greater control and safety compared to traditional solid rockets, as the oxidizer flow can be regulated or shut off, reducing risks. Hybrids are used in space launches and research due to their efficiency, safety, and reusability, providing a flexible and reliable way to propel rockets into space.
