Hybrid Rockets
ABSTRACT
The past year has seen several significant developments in hybrid rocket motor technology. SpaceDev developed a hybrid
rocket motor that successfully launched the first private citizen into space. Additional organizations including eAc, Orbital
Technologies (ORBITEC), Lockheed Martin, and Fredericksburg High School in Texas continue to investigate methods of
increasing the performance of hybrids, improving the value of such motors as a propulsion option.
