Hybrid rocket propulsion, first demonstrated by the Russian GIRD-09 rocket in 1933,
combines liquid oxidizer and solid fuel for thrust generation. Despite numerous advantages …

This paper extensively reviews hybrid rocket propulsion-related activities from combustion
engine designs to launch tests. Starting with a brief review of rocket propulsion development …

The low toxicity hypergolic solid fuels (HSFs) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) oxidizer have
been demonstrated as environment-friendly hybrid propellants. In the present study, a new …

Hybrid rockets are attractive as post-boost stages and kick motors due to their inherent
safety and low cost, but it is not clear from previous research which oxidizer is most suitable …

Nozzle throat erosion in hybrid rocket engines is generally more emphasized than in solid
rockets due to a greater concentration of oxidizing species in the combustion products …

Abstract The Mars Sample Return (MSR) campaign is one of the most ambitious and
complex planetary science exploration missions ever pursued. With the participation of …

Abstract The Mars Sample Return campaign aims to use three flight missions and one
ground element to safely bring rock cores, regolith and atmospheric samples from the …

The erosion of the nozzle throat can represent one of the major limitations against the future
widespread use of hybrid rocket engines (HREs) in the space industry. In fact, nozzle …
