Book Description
The degree project arises from the interest in hybrid rocket engines since it is a modern global technology among rocket engines, and has not been built or tested in Colombia. The main objective of the project is to design, build and test a Design, build and test a 250 N hybrid thrust rocket motor. For this, the motor was designed with paraffin as the solid fuel, and nitrous oxide as the liquid oxidant when designing a methodology for design, construction and testing. In the conceptual design stage, different input parameters were defined, in which the pressure of the combustion chamber was 290 psi, nozzle temperature of 2856 K, flight time of 5 seconds, specific impulse of 185 seconds, with which the different elements of the combustion chamber could be designed, including the nozzle. Additionally, the oxidant tank and the valves system were designed for their subsequent manufacture and purchase, respectively. At the same time, the electronic system was proposed in order to measure the thrust, pressure in the combustion chamber and temperature in the nozzle; and the UCAND-3 benching test was redesigned to carry out the experiments, which were planned with a sample of three fuel grains. However, it was found that the igniter did not burn completely in any test to make the reaction between fuel and oxidant be carried out satisfactorily because the burning surface area was not enough for the reaction to take place, so it is necessary to change the ignition system. However, both the hybrid rocket engine and the benching test are ready to be used in the near future.

Book Description
A concept design study was performed to configure two sizes of hybrid boosters; one which duplicates the advanced shuttle rocket motor vacuum thrust time curve and a smaller, quarter thrust level booster. Two sizes of hybrid boosters were configured for either pump-fed or pressure-fed oxygen feed systems. Performance analyses show improved payload capability relative to a solid propellant booster. Size optimization and fuel safety considerations resulted in a 4.57 m (180 inch) diameter large booster with an inert hydrocarbon fuel. The preferred diameter for the quarter thrust level booster is 2.53 m (96 inches). As part of the design study critical technology issues were identified and a technology acquisition and demonstration plan was formulated.

Book Description
The book is an amazing collection of technical papers dealing with hybrid rockets. Once perceived as a niche technology, for about a decade, hybrid rockets have enjoyed renewed interest from both the propulsion technical community and industry. Hybrid motors can be used in practically all applications where a rocket is employed, but there are certain cases where they present a superior fit, such as sounding rockets, tactical missile systems, launch boosters and the emerging field of commercial space transportation. The novel space tourism business, indeed, will benefit from their safety and lower recurrent development costs. The subjects addressed in the book include the cutting edge technology employed to push forward this relatively new propulsion concept, spanning systems to improve fuel regression rate, control of the mixture ratio to optimize performance, computational fluid dynamics applied to the simulation of the internal ballistics, and some other novel system applications.
