Alternate propellants for the space shuttle solid rocket booster motors [PDF]
As part of the Shuttle Exhaust Effects Panel (SEEP) program for fiscal year 1973, a limited study was performed to determine the feasibility of minimizing the environmental impact associated with the operation of the solid rocket booster motors (SRBMs ...

Formulation of Hexamine‐based Fuels for Hybrid Rockets
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2024.Abstract Hybrid rockets have many attractive properties but have not yet been used in any high performance applications, mainly due to the low regression rate of the solid fuels used. In this work, a number of crystalline organic fillers were assessed with the aim to increase the regression rate and density of HTPB‐based fuels.
