A hybrid rocket engine system has: an oxidizer tank containing a liquid oxidizer; a rocket engine having a combustion chamber operatively connected to the oxidizer tank; a solid propellant fuel within the combustion chamber; a nozzle fluidly connected to the combustion chamber, the nozzle having a convergent section and a divergent section downstream of the convergent section; and a thrust vector control device operatively connected to the divergent section of the nozzle and operable to inject a fluid through at least one aperture defined through the divergent section for controlling a direction of a thrust generated by the rocket engine.
