| x Liquid hydrogen |
|
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 Liquid oxygen |
Liquid oxygen (also LOx, LOX or Lox in the aerospace, submarine and gas industry) is a form of the element oxygen. It has a pale blue color and is strongly paramagnetic and can be suspended between the poles of a powerful horse shoe magnet. Liquid...

|
| 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), RP-1 is cheaper, can be...

|
| x Hydrazine |
|
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 High test peroxide |
High test peroxide or HTP is a high (85 to 98 percent) concentration solution of hydrogen peroxide, with the remainder predominantly made up of water. In contact with a catalyst it decomposes into a high temperature mixture of steam and oxygen, with...

|
| x Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene |
Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) is a polymer of butadiene terminated at each end with a hydroxyl functional group. It belongs to a class of polymers known as polyols. It reacts with diisocyanate to form polyurethane, a stable and easily...
|
|
| x 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 Hydrogen peroxide |
|
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a very pale blue liquid, slightly more viscous than water, that appears colorless in dilute solution. It is a weak acid, has strong oxidizing properties, and is a powerful bleaching agent. It is used as a disinfectant,...
|
| x Dinitrogen tetroxide |
|
Dinitrogen tetroxide (nitrogen tetroxide or nitrogen peroxide) is the chemical compound N2O4. It forms an equilibrium mixture with nitrogen dioxide; some call this mixture dinitrogen tetroxide, some call it nitrogen dioxide. Dinitrogen tetroxide is...
|
| 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 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 Solid rocket |
|
A solid rocket or a solid-fuel rocket is a rocket with a motor that uses solid propellants (fuel/oxidizer). The earliest rockets were solid-fueled and powered by gunpowder; they were used by the Chinese, Mongols and Arabs in warfare as early as...
|
| x Red fuming nitric acid |
Red fuming nitric acid (RFNA) is a storable oxidizer used as a rocket propellant. It consists mainly of nitric acid (HNO3), also containing 13% dinitrogen tetroxide and 3% water. The color of the resulting red fuming nitric acid is due to the...
|
|
| x Nitric acid |
|
Nitric acid (HNO3), also known as aqua fortis and spirit of nitre, is a highly corrosive and toxic strong acid.
Colorless when pure, older samples tend to acquire a stronger yellow cast due to the accumulation of oxides of nitrogen. If the solution...
|
| 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 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 Chlorine pentafluoride |
|
Chlorine pentafluoride has formula ClF5. It was first synthesized in 1963.
Its square pyramidal structure with C4v symmetry was confirmed by its high resolutionF NMR spectrum.
Initially, a common method for synthesis of this hypervalent molecule was...
|
| x Beryllium-hydrazine mix |
High energy rocket fuel used in some experimental Soviet upper stage rocket engines.
|
|
| x Fluorine |
|
Fluorine is the chemical element with atomic number 9, represented by the symbol F. Fluorine forms a single bond with itself in elemental form, resulting in the diatomic F2 molecule. F2 is a supremely reactive, poisonous, pale, yellowish brown gas....
|
| x Ammonia |
|
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...
