- Abstract
Over the last 50 years, solid propulsion has demonstrated its ability to fulfill its mission with high reliability and high performance at a competitive cost. A first road map has been published in 2000 . This paper proposes an update of this roadmap. Mission currently devoted to solid propulsion and plans for next and future launchers or exploration mission developments in USA, Japan and Europe will be described. Targeted improvements as well as potential breakthrough will be discussed.
