		<description><![CDATA[Solid Fuel Solid-fuel rocket engines were the first engines created by man. They were invented by the Chinese in the 13th century and have been widely used since then. The &#8220;rocket&#8217;s red glare&#8221; in the American National Anthem, which was written in the early 1800&#8242;s, refers to the small solid-fuel rockets that were used to deliver bombs and incendiary devices during the War of 1812. The creation of solid-fuel rocket engines is fairly simple. They are made up of solid (dry) chemicals that, when ignited, burn very rapidly but will not explode. The exhaust gasses are directed through a nozzle that helps control and direct the gasses, providing accurate and even thrust. Although not generally used for interplanetary propulsion, solid chemical fuels are used in solid-rocket motors. Since solid-rocket motors cannot be throttled (turned off and on at will), they are of little use as a primary propulsion system for interplanetary missions. Solid-rocket motors are typically used in booster applications, to assist a spacecraft in lifting off from the Earth&#8217;s surface. Currently, the most visible example of solid-rocket motors can be seen on NASA&#8217;s space shuttle. The two white solid-rocket boosters (SRBs) are mounted to either side of the orange [...]]]></description>
