Abstract

Abstract: The characteristics, development history and current situation of hybrid rocket motor were presented. The potential application of hybrid rocket motor was analyzed based on the astronautic development in China. The hybrid rocket motor can be used in sounding rockets, low cost target drones and missiles, suborbital vehicles, large launch boosters, advanced upper stages and orbital transfer systems.Thus,the application prospect of hybrid rocket motor is extensive. The design method for hybrid sounding rocket in Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics was summarized. The key technologies which affect the developments and applications of hybrid rocket motors were analyzed. 

Key words: Hybrid rocket motor; Suborbit vehicle; Booster; Upper stage; Sounding rocket;Review
