when it says otherwise mediocere, is that improper? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.30.175.197 (talk) 04:29, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger

  • I don't think the articles should be merged. Monopropellant is a class of chemicals, whereas the rocket article mainly talks about hydrazine rockets. Also the rocket article is significant enough to remain a separate article due to the reference to space ships and satelites. Having said that, both of the articles could use some clean up to make them more distinct from each other.Hobo 02:19, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I also oppose the merger as per user hobo sbandrews (t) 13:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
  • I agree that they should not be combined. Monopropellants may be used beyond rockets such as the new NASA missions to the moon and mars in landers and rovers. Many robotics carry them.


[edit] HAN

No mention of Hydroxylammonium nitrate or HAN? I tried to briefly find a reference that was freely accesible but HAN is discussed mostly in technical papers such as those found on the AIAA site. When I have more time i'll see what I can write up. I do know it is bonded with Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) or Carboxy-Terminated Polybutadiene (CTPB) and requires preheating to 200-300 deg C to decompose. Catylist is a noble metal, similar to the other monoprops that use silver or palladium. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Integracer (talk • contribs) 18:09, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
