HAN-based monopropellant assessment for spacecraft [PDF]
32nd Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit, 1996 The growing cost of space missions, the need for increased mission performance, and concerns associated with environmental issues are changing rocket design and propellant selection criteria. Whereas a propellant's performance was once defined solely in terms of specific impulse and density, now environmental safety, operability, and cost are ...
