This video shows an early test firing of a 6" hybrid rocket - shot from the control bunker.
The Oxidizer (HTP) is decomposed by a silver catalyst pack and the resulting hot oxygen is used to burn the fuel (HTBP) a synthetic rubber.
This test achieved a very smooth ignition and delivered a specific impulse of 205 sec
WOW! Cheers nottins

The actual rocket will be 18" in diameter, it is due to undergo testing in Mojave sometime in March.
