A multi-pulse rocket propulsion motor for use with vehicles, such as space vehicles like satellites, rockets, and the like. The propulsion motor is a modular system that is capable of providing a plurality of discrete, controllable propulsion pulses. The propulsion motor can be used for primary propulsion of the vehicle and/or as a maneuvering thruster of the vehicle. The propulsion motor includes a plurality of propellant housings each containing a combustible propellant grain, a discharge plenum defining a plenum volume in communication with the discharge of each propellant housing, and a nozzle downstream from and in fluid communication with the plenum volume.
