Technology development to mature a hybrid rocket option for a potential Mars Ascent Vehicle has been underway at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Marshall Space Flight Center. A conceptual design was completed in 2016 and has been used to determine the motor size for risk reduction development. The task plan for the FY17 testing, actually completed in mid FY18, is discussed. The major achievement of this effort was successful full scale hotfire testing with a representative ambient Earth storable propellant combination: SP7/MON3. A near term plan, through July 2019 is briefly discussed.
