Controllable Solid Propulsion System Based on Utilization of a Demand Solid Propellant-Gas Generator.

Abstract

The patent application relates generally to the field of solid propellant rocket motors and, in particular, to an improved means for controlling the operation of such motors by providing for the selective ignition of the rocket motor-propellant, its extinguishment and thus motor shut-down, and then propellant reignition and the restart of the motor, as desired.
