What do you know about space propulsion systems?
Historically, hydrazine-based propulsion systems have been at the forefront of technology for various applications, such as launchers and satellites of all sizes.
These systems boast a long and distinguished history, along with a broad array of space-qualified, off-the-shelf components.
However, hydrazine is a toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic monopropellant, while MMH (Monomethylhydrazine) and UDMH (Unsymmetric Dimethylhydrazine) are similarly hazardous bipropellants.
Special precautions are necessary during both the field and operational phases when using hydrazine or its derivatives.
Since hydrazine was classified as a substance of very high concern under the REACh legislation in 2011, there is a potential for future bans on these systems… But we can propose you an alternative!
The chemical compound hydrogen peroxide, with the formula H₂O₂, is a colorless liquid that is slightly more viscous than water in its pure form. It serves as a powerful oxidizer and is commonly used for bleaching, disinfection, and as a rocket propellant!
And of course, at AGENA SPACE, we design, test and qualify space propulsion systems based on H2O2.
Are you interested in our H2O2 solutions, or do you want to work with? Do not hesitate to look at our website: https://agenaspace.fr
