HyNOx — Small & Agile
The self-pressurizing propellant
HyNOx is a bipropellant consisting of nitrous oxide (N₂O) and ethane (C₂H₆). Both of these components are non-toxic, affordable and easily available.
The propellants are stored under saturated conditions in the tanks. They have a high vapor pressure in the relevant temperature range — enabling a simple system architecture. There is no need for a pressurization system.
Specifications
Storage density
up to 700 kg/m³ for N₂O
up to 300 kg/m³ for C₂H₆
Specific impulse (vacuum)
up to 300 s
Special features
additional cold gas mode, no preheating
Suitable
small spacecraft cost-driven applications

HIP_11 —
High-Performance
The green hypergolic propellant
HIP_11 is a hypergolic propellant combination consisting of highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and an ionic liquid fuel. Compared to conventional hypergolic propellants, it offers similar performance but higher density and significantly reduced hazards.
Specifications
Storage density
up to 1440 kg/m³ for 98% H₂O₂
up to 1100 kg/m³ for fuel
Specific impulse (vacuum)
up to 310 s
Special features
no preheating, no catalyst
Suitable
large spacecraft performance-driven applications
