Single-stage-to-orbit rocket

摘要

A solid fueled rocket motor capable of accelerating a vehicle into Earth orbit using only a single stage of engines using a high burn-rate propellant matrix. The propellant matrix is designed so as to be burned from one end to the other, rather than from the center outwards. By operating in this end-burning configuration, the motor is capable of being configured to produce varying levels of thrust throughout the operation of the motor. This will allow the use of the same engine for all phases of the launch to orbit.
