Monopropellant Thruster Exhaust Plume Contamination Measurements [PDF]
The potential spacecraft contaminants in the exhaust plume of a 0.89N monopropellant hydrazine thruster were measured in an ultrahigh quartz crystal microbalances located at angles of approximately 0 deg, + 15 deg and + or - 30 deg with respect to the nozzle centerline. The crystal temperatures were controlled such that the mass adhering to the crystal

Thermal Ignition of ADN‐Based Propellants
Abstract Ammonium dinitramide (ADN, NH4+ N(NO2)2−) based monopropellants are extremely promising as hydrazine replacement. Thermal igniters are attractive for ADN thrusters as they allow a more prompt ignition and may be better suited for larger engines (100‐500 N) compared to the currently used preheated catalysts.

Development of Busek 0.5N Green Monopropellant Thruster
The monopropellant community has been actively pursuing low toxicity, "green" monopropellants for the past two decades. Of the large number of formulations developed, AF-M315E has received the most attention in the U.S. In comparison with hydrazine, AF-M315E offers improved Isp and density-Isp while being extremely stable and easy to handle.
