Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of Monopropellant Propulsion Systems: Advancing the Comparison Between Conventional and Novel Monopropellants

open access: yesIAF Space Transportation Solutions and Innovations Symposium
Within the field of monopropellant chemical propulsion, hydrazine has been the industry standard for over 50 years. During the past three decades, this has been challenged by the development and adoption of so-called novel monopropellants, which feature a lower propellant toxicity while delivering equal or improved performance compared to hydrazine ...
