The benefit of the pulsed rocket motor is that, by the on-command ignition of the subsequent pulses, near-optimal energy management of the propellant burn can be accomplished. Each pulse can have a different

The pulsed rocket motor is made by pouring each segment of propellant separately. Between each segment is a
