The Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) was the first solid-propellant rocket to be used for primary propulsion on a vehicle used for human spaceflight. [1] A pair of them provided 85% of the Space Shuttle's thrust at liftoff and for the first two minutes of ascent.
A solid rocket booster (SRB) is a solid propellant motor used to provide thrust in spacecraft launches from initial launch through the first ascent. Many launch vehicles, including the Atlas V , [ 1 ] SLS and Space Shuttle , have used SRBs to give launch vehicles much of the thrust required to place the vehicle into orbit.
The Graphite-Epoxy Motor (GEM) is a family of solid rocket boosters developed in the late 1980s and used since 1990. GEM motors are manufactured with carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer casings and a fuel consisting of HTPB-bound ammonium perchlorate composite propellant. GEM is produced by Northrop Grumman Space Systems. [1]
The P160C is a solid-fuel rocket engine designed for use as the first stage of the Vega-E and as the boosters of the Ariane 6 Block 2 launch vehicles. The solid rocket motors were developed by Europropulsion, a joint venture of Avio and ArianeGroup, for the European Space Agency. The "C" in the name signifies its "Common" use across these ...
The Solid Rocket Motor Upgrade (SRMU) was a solid rocket motor that was used as a booster on the Titan IVB launch vehicle. Developed by Hercules (later ATK ), it was intended to be a high-performance, low-cost upgrade to the UA1207 boosters previously used on Titan IV.
A solid-propellant rocket or solid rocket is a rocket with a rocket engine that uses solid propellants (fuel/oxidizer). The earliest rockets were solid-fuel rockets powered by gunpowder . The inception of gunpowder rockets in warfare can be credited to the ancient Chinese, and in the 13th century, the Mongols played a pivotal role in ...
The core stage Intertank is manufactured rather differently to the other elements. A "dry" structure, it is required not only to handle the loads of the core stage itself but also the thrust of the twin Solid Rocket Boosters of the SLS, transmitting these loads. Additionally, as a dry structure, it is not pressurized like the propellant tanks.
The S139 (S for Solid, 139 for weight of 139 tonnes) is a Solid Rocket Booster manufactured by the Indian Space Research Organisation at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in the SPROB facility. [1] The rocket motor was first developed for use in the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. Later it was utilised in the GSLV MKII.
