Development of Mono and Bipropellant Systems for Green Propulsion Applications

The privatization of the space sector has led to a significant increase in the volume and affordability of space technologies. This development underlines the need for more cost-effective, safer, and environmentally sustainable space technology solutions. Propellant technologies play an essential role in shaping space systems, serving as the foundation for achieving greener and more cost-efficient space operations. The European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are actively engaged in the quest for cleaner, higher-performing propellants capable of displacing traditional alternatives. This chapter explores modern trends and innovations in both mono and bipropellants, offering insights into the latest developments in this field.
