Abstract
Content

A brief report summarizes an investigation of less-toxic alternatives to toxic monopropellant fluids used in launch vehicles, upper stages, and spacecraft propulsion. The toxic fluids in question are (1) hydrazine and its derivatives, used, variously, as fuels or by themselves as catalytically decomposable monopropellants; and (2) nitrogen dioxide, used as an oxidizer for such fuels.
