...guidance and control purposes, solid-fuel rockets are normally loaded with fuel to full capacity. Thus when one of them is fired at a target short of the maximum range, something must be done to cut off or slow the thrust when the rocket reaches the necessary speed. The flow of liquid fuels can be controlled by valves or pumps. Comparable control can be achieved with solids, said Ritchey, by opening small apertures upstream from the nozzle. The gas that leaks out through them reduces the pressure in the combustion chamber, and the thrust falls...
