Abstract
The review on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in solid-propellant rockets delves into the historical evolution and modern advancements of rocket technologies. Solid rockets, powered by a blend of fuel and oxidizer, have a rich legacy extending from ancient gunpowder-propelled devices to contemporary rockets using sugar-based propellants. The early use of gunpowder rockets, notably by the Chinese in the 13th century, set a foundation for the significant progress in rocketry. In modern times, the experimentation with sugar propellants, such as rocket candy in model rockets, illustrates the ongoing enhancements in propellant technologies. The entrance of AI into the realm of space exploration signifies a pivotal shift, offering ground-breaking improvements in rocket design and functionality. The incorporation of AI into solid-propellant rocket technology promises substantial advancements, including optimized fuel usage, refined trajectory calculations, and improved autonomous decision-making capabilities during missions. This integration heralds a new phase in rocket propulsion, where AI's potential to boost efficiency, accuracy, and safety in space missions is profoundly acknowledged. The journey from ancient gunpowder rockets to the present-day solid-propellant versions, coupled with the continuous innovations in propellant technology, epitomizes the relentless pursuit of advancement in the field of rocketry.
