Abstract
A study on the H2O2 based low toxic hypergolic propellant was conducted. The fuel candidates were chosen as a mixture of Amine solvent and reactive additive. The analytical performance was calculated via the NASA CEA code and 96% Isp of the NTO/UDMH was confirmed. The ignition delay measurement with drop test was performed and all candidates showed less than 10 ms in the best performance cases. Based on these results, the feasibility of high response H2O2 based low toxic hypergolic propellant was confirmed.
