To further develop and demonstrate the applicability of liquefying-fuel hybrid rocket technology to low-cost launch applications, a small team of engineers is developing a medium-scale liquefying-fuel hybrid sounding rocket using storable propellants (paraffin wax and N2O) that will carry a 5 kg payload to the edge of space. This rocket, known as Peregrine, is being developed by engineers from NASA Ames, Stanford University, Space Propulsion Group Inc. (SPG, Sunnyvale, CA) and NASA Wallops, with a launch from Wallops anticipated at some point in the future. This paper focuses on the propulsion ground test results obtained to date.
