Hybrid rockets using specific oxidizer–fuel combinations are considered a green alternative to current propulsion systems, as they do not release very toxic or polluting exhausts, but only much less harmful substances such as carbon monoxide/dioxide and soot. However, in a long-term vision where space access and rocket transportation become a daily routine all around the world, the simple use of current green propellants could begin to become insufficient if the rest of the industry already follows much stricter rules, which are expected to tighten significantly in the future, thereby making emissions from rocket flights no more negligible. In this paper, the possible use of alternative sustainable solid fuels for hybrid rockets that are not derived from fossil fuels and are ideally carbon neutral is investigated and discussed based on the available data in the hybrid literature and on the literature related to renewable fuels in general. Even if this topic is apparently far away from the current necessities, as hybrid propulsion is not yet operational, it is paramount to consider a long-term vision and associated research efforts to make sure that the potential hybrid propulsion introduction to the commercial market is more than a simple flash in the pan, but offers a solid opportunity.

“…Energy recovery methods, like electricity produced by an Organic Rankine Cycle, were beneficial since they increased efficiency and commercial viability. The combined analysis of pure palm-based wax to produce a solid fuel for a hybrid rocket engine is described by M. Tarmizi Ahmad, et al [26]. Rates and regression thrust can be attained even in pure-tested wax.…”

As humanity is moving towards becoming a multi-planetary civilization, it is very important to make efficient use of resources available on our planet first and then head towards exploiting the resources of another celestial body. It is also important to cause minimum harm to the space environment around our planet as well as the planetary atmosphere. Advancement in conventional rocket fuel is one of the ways to optimize the consumption of fuel during a space launch but it cannot always be feasible. Finding cheaper alternatives like Biofuels can also be a significant point of discussion. Such fuels can be naturally obtained without much harm to the environment and they can be as effective as conventional rocket fuel. For complete sustainability, not only internal changes but also external changes should be considered. To attain space sustainability, we need to follow a technology-driven approach while considering the cost and effective management of the space missions. This paper is a review of various techniques involved in the sustainable development of space vehicles, and effects of existing techniques involved during the launch of the space vehicle.
