A few general concepts concerning hybrid propulsion are reviewed and a synopsis of European work and recent activities published in open literature is given. A critical examination of the potential advantages of hybrid propulsion compared with propulsion by liquid or solid propellants is given. The performance, operational flexibility, safety, security, reliability, cost and environmental impact characteristics are examined. A few specific problems of hybrid propulsion are mentioned. The possible applications of hybrid propulsion for space launchers are examined. Different versions of hybrid rockets are identified and the version best suited to each application is proposed. A strategy which would allow the future of hybrid propulsion in space activity to be clarified and development to be rationally started is outlined in conclusion.
