Hybrid Propulsion System
Liquid oxygen (LOX) served as the oxidizer and hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) served as the fuel for the motor.
- A hybrid motor employs solid fuel and a liquid oxidizer, as opposed to solid-solid or liquid-liquid combinations.
- Throttling is made easier by the use of liquids, and the ability to adjust the flow rate of LOX makes restarting possible.
- ISRO recently conducted tests on a hybrid propulsion technology for next launch vehicles.
- It is more effective, less harmful to the environment, and easier to ....
