A hybrid propulsion unit, for a space vehicle or rocket, includes an external body defining a combustion chamber configured to receive a block of solid propellant, a pressurized reservoir configured to receive a liquid propellant, and a nozzle to eject the combustion gases produced by the reaction of the propellants. The pressurized reservoir being placed inside the external body, surrounded by the block of solid propellant. The propulsion unit further includes a plurality of liquid-propellant injectors disposed axially between parts of the solid propellant to improve the efficacy of the combustion. A space vehicle, of the launch vehicle type, equipped with such hybrid propulsion unit.
