A secondary objective was to flight test a new monopropellant thruster using ammonium dinitramide ( ADN ) propellant.
22.
It has a relatively high monopropellant specific impulse of 177 seconds ( 1.7 kN�s / kg ).
23.
Like hydrazine it has a positive enthalpy of formation that makes it both potentially unstable and a viable monopropellant.
24.
Use as a monopropellant takes advantage of the decomposition of 70 98 % concentration hydrogen peroxide into steam and oxygen.
25.
One newer monopropellant under development is nitrous oxide, both neat and in the form of nitrous oxide fuel blends.
26.
Research into the next generation of advanced or " green " monopropellant engines met with mixed success in the 1990s.
27.
It can be used for plastics in use in the food desensitizer in Otto fuel II, a torpedo monopropellant.
28.
There are four main types of chemical rocket propellants : solid, storable liquid, cryogenic liquid and liquid monopropellant.
29.
Hydrazine eventually replaced hydrogen-peroxide monopropellant thruster applications primarily because of a 25 % increase in the vacuum specific impulse.
30.
The most commonly used monopropellant is hydrazine ( N 2 H 4 ), a chemical which is a strong reducing agent.
