Within the past year, large solid propellant rocket motors have become very prominent in discussions of possible launch vehicles for manned space flight. This is partly due to active promotion by the solid propellant rocket industry. The role that large solid rockets may play in space launching vehicles is also indicated, however, by the results of numerous analyses and vehicle studies that have been made in the past two years by government and other unbiased agencies. The promise of the large solid rocket motor has been further substantiated by major development accomplishments which have been achieved in the past year. The purpose of this paper is to review some of the reasons for the dramatic entry of large solid propellant boosters into the manned space flight field, to assess their present position, and to discuss some areas where need for further work is indicated.
