oxidizerfuel
An oxidizer-fuel propulsion system, often referred to as a bipropellant system, is a chemical rocket configuration in which the oxidizer and the fuel are stored separately and combined in a combustion chamber to produce thrust. The oxidizer supplies the oxygen needed for combustion, enabling propulsion in environments with little or no atmospheric oxygen, including space.
In bipropellant engines, the oxidizer and fuel are injected and combusted in the chamber. Common oxidizers
Monopropellants use a single chemical that decomposes to hot gas, usually with a catalytic bed, without an
Performance is described by specific impulse (Isp) and thrust, with hydrogen-oxygen (LH2/LOX) systems offering high Isp
Oxidizer–fuel propellants are used in rocket stages, maneuvering thrusters, and missiles, with ongoing research addressing safer
