solid rocket fuel

Solid rocket fuel consists of a combustible material combined with oxidizers in a solid form, creating a single, stable substance. When ignited, it burns quickly, producing hot gases that expand rapidly. These gases are expelled through a nozzle, generating thrust that propels the rocket forward. The fuel is easy to handle, reliable, and stored on the rocket until launch, making it ideal for applications like space boosters and military missiles. However, once ignited, it cannot be turned off, requiring careful design and safety measures.
