For the use of ballistic launches of a small satellite, the development study of a high thrust hybrid rocket motor has been made. To enhance the regression rate of the solid fuel and augment the thrust, the authors employed a new fuel conˆguration. This new conˆguration allows mixing and combustion to occur around the stagnation points on solid fuel surfaces. The static ˆring tests using a LOX/PMMA hybrid motor with a LOX cooling system have proved su‹ciently prompt ignition, high thrust level,
