Monopropellanta
Monopropellant is a type of rocket propellant that consists of a single chemical compound. Unlike bipropellants, which require two separate components (fuel and oxidizer) to combust, monopropellants contain both fuel and oxidizer within the same molecule or mixture. When passed over a catalyst or exposed to a high-temperature source, the monopropellant decomposes exothermically, producing hot gas that is expelled through a nozzle to generate thrust.
The primary advantage of monopropellants is their simplicity. They require less complex plumbing and fewer storage
Common examples of monopropellants include hydrazine (N2H4) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Hydrazine, in particular, has been
