A number of booster propulsion concepts are being considered for the next generation of manned and unmanned space launch vehicles. One propulsion system concept that has potential for reducing costs with increased safety, reliability, and performance is hybrid propulsion. Hybrid propulsion systems incorporate the best features of both liquid and solid propulsion systems. The systems may be thought of as solid propulsion systems with liquid oxidizers, or as liquid propulsion systems with solid fuels. Hybrid propulsion systems will require both acquisition and demonstration to substantiate their promising potential. The systems are readily developed as their foundation lies in the extensive information available from both solid and liquid propulsion.
