OXIDIZER-RICH LIQUID MONOPROPELLANTS FOR A DUAL MODE CHEMICAL ROCKET ENGINE

摘要

The subject invention relates to oxidizer-rich liquid monopropellants based on ADN or HAN for a dual mode bipropellant chemical rocket engine. Such engines may be part of propulsion systems to be used in aerospace applications for 1) orbit raising, orbit manoeuvres and maintenance, attitude control and deorbiting of spacecraft, and/or 2) propellant settling, attitude and roll control of missiles, launchers and space planes.
