Solid rocket motor

A solid rocket motor is a type of propulsion system used in rockets that relies on a solid propellant mixture. This mixture contains fuel and an oxidizer bound together in a solid form. When ignited, the propellant burns and produces hot gases that expand rapidly and are expelled through a nozzle, generating thrust to propel the rocket. Unlike liquid rockets, which use liquid fuels, solid rockets are simpler and can be stored for long periods, making them ideal for various applications, including space launches and military missiles. Their reliability and ease of use contribute to their widespread use.
