Hydrazine's exceptional reactivity and consistent decomposition contributes to high-temperature, low molecular weight exhaust, making it ideal for rocket propulsion and gas generation.
Calca Solutions's lineup of Hydrazine products, including Ultra Pure™ Hydrazine, are utilized in mission-critical applications by leading aerospace organizations, demonstrating reliability and effectiveness in complex systems.
From serving as a vital propellant in the aerospace industry to being utilized in industries such as electronics and pharmaceuticals, Hydrazine propellants provide diversity in function, bolstered by versatile products like Monomethyl Hydrazine.
In monopropellant systems, controlled decomposition is triggered by contact with a catalyst. Literally hundreds of satellites and space probes rely on hydrazine fueled thrusters for altitude control or orbit maintenance. Such precision maneuvers require as little as a tenth of a pound of thrust, hundreds of times, over an operating lifetime of 10 to 15 years.
Monopropellant systems are also used on short-term missions. They provide altitude and roll control of boosters.
In bipropellant systems, liquid hydrazine and an oxidizer are injected simultaneously to initiate a hypergolic reaction. Such systems helped power expendable launch vehicles such as Titans, Delta and Ariane 4, as well as the Space Shuttle orbital maneuvering system.
It is currently used in many large satellites. Bipropellant engines can generate up to a million pounds of thrust without reliance on external ignition systems.
The major use of Ultra Pure™ hydrazine is a rocket propellant in monopropellant thrusters and gas generators. Most satellites in earth orbit and most space probes use hydrazine for attitude control and orbit maintenance. Other applications include the electronics and pharmaceuticals industries.
The major use of monomethyl hydrazine is in the aerospace industry. It is used as a propellant and for spacecraft orbital control thrusters. Monomethyl hydrazine may also be used in chemical synthesis where both an N-N bond and a methyl group are desired. Many patents have been issued covering applications of monomethyl hydrazine in petroleum refining, explosives, metal treating, photography, fibers, coatings and resins.
