Different kinds of solid composite propellant (SCP) are described. All ways to increase energetic potential of SCP are considered as well as pro et contra of each of these ways. Different kinds of oxidizer (perchlorates of ammonium, hydroxylammonium, and hydrazinium; ammonium salt of dinitramine; other saltlike and molecular oxidizers) are under consideration. The main principles creation of SCP formulation with optimal characteristics in the context of their concrete purpose are discussed, e.g. for rockets with considerably low ratio propellant volume/empty construction mass (V/M lower than 1 Litr/kg or so) the ballistic effectiveness may be increased with the replacement of aluminum by high-dense zirconium or zirconium hydride. Possibilities for creation of special SCP formulations for application at the far space, e.g. for Mars exploration are discussed as well.
