Hi folks, journalism student here.
Looking for some community perspectives on the hybrid motors, specifically the HDPE/N2O type, as my assessment is a short piece about whether they're the future of spaceflight or just another propulsion method.
Main things I'm interested in hearing about:
- Environmental impacts
- Mechanical lements (do they require more or less work to be fitted, do they wear out faster, etc)
- Results (do they achieve better results in any specific area? Do they fall short on other areas?)
- Are hybrids better for use at large or small scales and are the challenges faced at these scales different?
- Overall viability at all scales (small, mid, large)
Assessment also requires us to interview at least one person for the piece, if anybody here has experience in the commercial side and knows a fair bit about these, let me know if you'd be interested in further contact.
Also feel free to link to research and study papers on the matter (preferably with summaries, I've got three days to get this done)
Thanks for any advice or help you can offer
