Abstract
High energy rocket propellants (such as fluorine, hydrogen, hydrazine, etc.) are of great interest because they result in large increases in vehicle performance over that possible with conventional propellants. This means that for any mission to be accomplished the size and weight of the vehicle required would be smaller for the high energy propellants than for conventional propellants.
