Abstract

In the realm of rocket propulsion, hydrogen peroxide has been a subject of historical intrigue and modern fascination. This comprehensive study delves into the evolution of high-concentration hydrogen peroxide as a propellant, aiming to elucidate its potential in future rocketry and satellite propulsion. Beginning with the pioneers and challenges in The Early Days of Hydrogen Peroxide, it explores innovative European contributions and significant advancements in hydrogen peroxide propulsion in Russia. Subsequently, past endeavours with hydrogen peroxide propulsion in the United States are highlighted. Additionally, the authors dispel misconceptions about hydrogen peroxide. Satellite propulsion emerges as a crucial focus, detailing contemporary applications and exploring future perspectives. Delving into the essential parameters of hydrogen peroxide, the chapter provides a holistic understanding of its characteristics. Present uses showcase its relevance today, while the discussion of temporal postponement sheds light on setbacks faced. The chapter ends by drawing insightful conclusions, emphasizing the promising trajectory of hydrogen peroxide. This comprehensive exploration serves as a valuable resource, guiding future research and shaping the landscape of space propulsion.
