The rocket motor includes a plurality of casings for enclosing an initial boost motor, a post boost motor, and gas generator means for producing gases that are used for re-ignition of the post boost motor and as a motive source for the attitude control system. The boost motor and post boost motor are contained within the same enclosure but are separated by an internal bulkhead. The rocket motor has a plurality of nozzles one of which is located aft of the boost motor and another located within the internal bulkhead that separates the boost and post boost motors.
