Application of hybrid rocket motor on manned lunar landing

A primary optimal design of manned lunar ship with hybrid propulsion system was proposed. After researching on the manned lunar plans of the main space industry countries and regions and analysis of "Apollo" lunar module, based on hybrid rocket motor system design model, a genetic arithmetic was used to optimize the hybrid rocket motors substituting the descent and ascent liquid rocket motors of "Apollo" lunar module. The comparison and analysis of their function, mass, volume and propellant characteristics show that it has great advantages and application prospect for hybrid propulsion technology to be used in manned lunar ship and deep space exploration.
