                         LEO). From a case study of the flight path of a three-stage rocket 
                         with solid propellants, proceed to select the propellant mixture 
                         that meets the design requirements and path raised flight, taking 
                         into account that it can produce nationwide. The propellant 
                         thermochemical behavior is obtained with CPROPEP software. Knowing

                         combustion chamber proceeds to design rocket engines to ensure 
                         total velocity change in the system equivalent to those obtained 
                         in the analysis of the flight path. With the design of the
