The Role of Thrusters in Space Systems [PDF]
Spacecrafts, such as artificial satellites and space probes have small rockets called thrusters for orbital maneuvering, and satellite attitude control. These thrusters produce thrust by exhausting gases from their nozzles.

Evaluating New Liquid Storable Bipropellants: Safety and Performance Assessments
Conventional storable bipropellants make use of hydrazine and its derivatives as fuels and nitrogen tetroxide as an oxidizer. In recent years, the toxicity character of these chemicals pushed the propulsion community towards “green” alternatives. Several

First Principles Study of the Ignition Mechanism for Hypergolic Bipropellants: N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) and N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylmethylenediamine (TMMDA) with Nitric Acid [PDF]
We report quantum mechanics calculations (B3LYP flavor of density functional theory) to determine the chemical reaction mechanism underlying the hypergolic reaction of pure HNO_3 with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) and N,N,N′,N ...

Kinetic Stability and Propellant Performance of Green Energetic Materials [PDF]
AbstractA thorough theoretical investigation of four promising green energetic materials is presented. The kinetic stability of the dinitramide, trinitrogen dioxide, pentazole, and oxopentazole anions has been evaluated in the gas phase and in solution by using high‐level ab initio and DFT calculations.
