Aerozine 50 is a 50:50 mix by weight of hydrazine and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH), originally developed in the late 1950s by Aerojet General Corporation as a storable, high-energy, hypergolic fuel for the Titan II ICBM rocket engines. Aerozine continues in wide use as a rocket fuel, typically with dinitrogen tetroxide as the oxidizer, with which it is hypergolic.

Variants LR87-3. Used on the Titan I, the LR87-3 burned liquid oxygen and RP-1. Following the retirement of the Titan missile program, these engines saw no further use. [citation needed] The LR87-3 was also operated with NTO/Aerozine 50 and ground tested with LOX/H2 (with a new fuel pump), making it one of very few engines to have been run on three different propellant …

The Titan II GLV (Gemini Launch Vehicle) or Gemini-Titan II was an American expendable launch system derived from the Titan II missile, which was used to launch twelve Gemini missions for NASA between 1964 and 1966. Two uncrewed launches followed by ten crewed ones were conducted from Launch Complex 19 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, starting with …

On désigne par oxygène liquide le dioxygène refroidi au-dessous de son point de condensation, soit 90,188 K (−182,96 °C) sous la pression atmosphérique (101 325 Pa).Sa masse volumique est alors de 1 141 kg/m 3, et il gèle à 50,5 K (−222,65 °C).On l'obtient par distillation fractionnée à partir de l'air.. Il est souvent désigné par l'acronyme LOX, notamment pour ses applications ...

L’éthanol, ou alcool éthylique ou plus simplement alcool, est un alcool de formule semi-développée CH 3-CH 2-OH.C'est un liquide incolore, volatil, inflammable et miscible à l'eau en toutes proportions. C'est un psychotrope, et l'une des plus anciennes drogues récréatives, sous la forme de boisson alcoolisée.L'éthanol est utilisé par l'industrie agroalimentaire (pour la …

50 miles (80 km): burnout at 113,000 feet (34,000 m) Guidance system. X-15/Dyna-soar inertial platform: The X-3 Volksrocket (other names: Arriba One, Skycycle X-3) was a reusable space tourism rocket planned by Robert Truax after Evel Knievel provided a $1,000 research grant for a pilot study. Truax was looking for volunteers with enough money ...

Most of the Titan rockets were the Titan II ICBM and their civilian derivatives for NASA.The Titan II used the LR-87-5 engine, a modified version of the LR-87, that used a hypergolic propellant combination of nitrogen tetroxide (NTO) for its oxidizer and Aerozine 50 (a 50/50 mix of hydrazine and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) instead of the liquid oxygen and RP-1 …

Raptor is a family of full-flow staged-combustion-cycle rocket engines developed and manufactured by SpaceX for use on the in-development SpaceX Starship.The engine is powered by cryogenic liquid methane and liquid oxygen ("methalox") rather than the RP-1 and liquid oxygen ("kerolox") used in SpaceX's prior Merlin and Kestrel rocket engines. The Raptor …

Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH; 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, НДМГ or codenamed Geptil) is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 NN(CH 3) 2 that is used as a rocket propellant.It is a colorless liquid, with a sharp, fishy, ammonia-like smell typical for organic amines.Samples turn yellowish on exposure to air and absorb oxygen and carbon dioxide.It is miscible with water, …

A hypergolic propellant is a rocket propellant combination used in a rocket engine, whose components spontaneously ignite when they come into contact with each other.. The two propellant components usually consist of a fuel and an oxidizer.The main advantages of hypergolic propellants are that they can be stored as liquids at room temperature and that …
