Abstract
Hybrid rockets are a type of chemical space propulsion that is nowadays still in an experimental phase, but that can become one of the most important propulsion technologies
due to its advantages with respect to the existing ones.
The present work consist on developing an upgraded hybrid rocket model which has been
modified with respect to the existing one in order to obtain better performances and results. The aim of this project is to create a safer model with a safer ignition system as
well as a fully redesigned gas-injection and thrust measurement system.
Also, a mathematical one-dimensional model has been implemented in order to predict
and study the behavior of the hybrid rocket model to achieve a better comprehension of
this topic.
The ultimate purpose of the project is to acquire a deep understanding concerning the
space propulsion, concretely the one associated with hybrid rocket propulsion.
