‘Green’ Spaceship Propellant Set to Crater Fuel Costs and Replace Ultra-Toxic Hydrazine with Peroxid

A Spanish startup has successfully tested a new thruster for spacecraft that runs on a ‘green’ propellant to replace the ultra-toxic hydrazine commonly used in the industry. It uses hydrogen peroxide, and is then not only less toxic but also substantially less expensive to run. Arkadia Space, which invented the thruster system, celebrated an in-orbit […] The post ‘Green’ Spaceship Propellant Set to Crater Fuel Costs and Replace Ultra-Toxic Hydrazine with Peroxide appeared first on Good News Network.
