Recent Advancements in Green Propulsion: Green Propellants for Micropropulsion Systems

This book introduces recent developments in green propellants and green propulsion systems by various worldwide research groups. Various space agencies across the globe have accelerated the development of non-toxic green propellants, and the European Union is planning to phase out hydrazine (liquid) and ammonium perchlorate (solid) as propellants in the future, as it was identified as a substance of high concern by the REACh regulation.
