A rocket motor comprises at least two propellant grains/grain segments; a case comprising the propellant grains/grain segments, stacked within the case; and a resin for substantially maintaining the grains/grain segments in position within the case. In another aspect, a rocket motor comprises at least two propellant grains/grain segments, each having an aft-end face and a fore-end face. At least two of the propellant grains/grain segments comprise a sleeve having propellant cast therein. The motor further comprises a case comprising the propellant grains/grain segments, stacked within the case, wherein the sleeve of one propellant grain/grain segment is coupled to the sleeve of an adjacent propellant grain/grain segment such that the fore-end face of one grain/grain segment is spaced from the aft-end face of an other grain/grain segment creating a gap therebetween. Methods for making the rocket motors are described.
