Monopropellanttien
Monopropellant is a type of rocket propellant that contains a single active ingredient, which is capable of undergoing a chemical reaction to produce thrust. This reaction is typically an exothermic one, releasing energy in the form of a gas, which is expelled from the rear of the rocket to generate thrust.
The most common monopropellants are hydrazine, unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH), and sulfuric acid-ammonia (or acids based on
Monopropellant engines are simpler in design compared to bipropellant engines, which require two separate fuels to
One of the primary issues with monopropellant engines is the generation of toxic byproducts, such as ammonia
The use of monopropellant in spacecraft has been demonstrated in several notable missions, such as those of
