A pulsed rocket motor is typically defined as a multiple-pulse solid-fuel rocket motor. This design overcomes difficulties shutting down and reigniting solid propellant motors. The pulse rocket motor allows the motor to be burned in segments that burn until completion of that segment. The next segment can be ignited on command by either an onboard algorithm or in a pre-planned sequence. All of the segments are contained in a single rocket motor case, as opposed to staged rocket motors.
