The main ingredient of the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters by weight is Ammonium Perchlorate, at 69.6% of the solid fuel composition. Ammonium perchrlorate serves as the oxidizer in the shuttle SRBs. The next ingredient at 16% is aluminum, which is the primary fuel in the boosters. The remaining percentage is composed of binders and catalyst substances.
