Abstract:

Fourteen hydrazine catalyst samples on five different substrates provided by Shell Development Company were evaluated in an altitude test chamber. The samples were test fired to determine cold-start life in nominal 5- pound-thrust engines. The new substrates were compared against the standard RA-1 alumina substrate.
