Hybrid rocket engines are combinations of solid and liquid engines and combine the best features of both engine types. The liquid oxygen carrier required for combustion – in this case highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide – and the solid fuel hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) are present in VISERION in different physical states and only react with each other at high temperatures and pressures in the combustion chamber. The advantage is that, as a result, there is no risk of explosion during storage and operation. Furthermore, the substances used are non-toxic and not hazardous to the environment.
