Hybrid rockets utilize rocket motors which contain both liquid and solid propellant. They provide numerous benefits compared to solid and liquid rockets such as being mechanically simpler, having denser fuels, and providing higher specific impulse. Generally, the oxidizer is liquid and fuel is solid because solid oxidizers are dangerous and are lower performing than their liquid counterparts. Hybrid systems avoid the significant hazards of manufacturing, shipping, and handling that solid rocket motors possess. The conceptual design report herein separately assesses the structural and propulsive needs for a mid-power rocket with a G-motor
