x Pentaborane Pentaborane
Pentaborane, also called pentaboron nonahydride, stable pentaborane, or pentaborane(9) (to distinguish it from B5H11), is a chemical compound considered in the 1950s as a good prospect for a rocket or jet fuel by both the U.S. and Russian armed...
x Liquid hydrogen Tank for liquid hydrogen of Linde, Museum Autovision, Altlußheim, Germany
Liquid hydrogen (LH2 or LH2) is the liquid state of the element hydrogen. Hydrogen is found naturally in the molecular H2 form. To exist as a liquid, H2 must be pressurized and cooled to a very low temperature, 20.28 K (−423.17 °F/−252.87°C). One...
x RP-1  
RP-1 (alternately, Rocket Propellant-1 or Refined Petroleum-1) is a highly refined form of kerosene outwardly similar to jet fuel, used as a rocket fuel. Although having a lower specific impulse than liquid hydrogen (LH2) and thus less thrust per...
x Kerosene Kerosene
Kerosene, sometimes spelled kerosine in scientific and industrial usage, also known as paraffin, is a combustible hydrocarbon liquid. The name is derived from Greek keros (κηρός wax). The word Kerosene was registered as a trademark by Abraham Gesner...
x UDMH  
Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) (1,1-Dimethylhydrazine) is a toxic volatile hygroscopic clear liquid, with a sharp, fishy, ammoniacal smell typical for organic amines. It turns yellowish on exposure to air and absorbs oxygen and carbon...
x AG-25  
Misterious rocket fuel used on some experimental Soviet rocket engines. Anyone has more information?
x Ethanol Prostorový model molekuly ethanolu
Ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol, pure alcohol, grain alcohol, or drinking alcohol, is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid. It is a psychoactive drug, best known as the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages and in modern thermometers....
x Ammonia Ammonia 3D representation
Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. It is normally encountered as a gas with a characteristic pungent odor. Ammonia contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial organisms by serving as a...
x Aerozine 50  
Aerozine 50 is a 50/50 mix 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...
x Hydrazine Hydrazine-2D
Hydrazine is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula N2H4. It is a colourless liquid with an ammonia-like odor and is derived from the same industrial chemistry processes that manufacture ammonia. However, hydrazine has physical properties...
x T-1  
Soviet specification for refined kerosene used as rocket fuel. Probably similar to American RP-1.
x Monomethylhydrazine Monomethylhydrazine
Monomethylhydrazine (MMH) is a volatile hydrazine chemical with the chemical formula CH3(NH)NH2. It is used as a rocket fuel in bipropellant rocket engines, and frequently in hypergolic mixtures. MMH is very commonly applied notably in the orbital...
x Alcohol Examples of alcohols & their names
In chemistry, an alcohol is any organic compound in which a hydroxyl group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom of an alkyl or substituted alkyl group. The general formula for a simple acyclic alcohol is CnH2n+1OH. In common terms, the word alcohol...
x Methane Geometrie molekuly methanu. Červenými linkami naznačen opsaný čtyřstěn.
Methane is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH4. It is the simplest alkane, and the principal component of natural gas. Methane's bond angles are 109.5 degrees. Burning methane in the presence of oxygen produces carbon dioxide and...
x Beryllium-hydrazine mix  
High energy rocket fuel used in some  experimental Soviet upper stage rocket engines.
