Potential of an excellent low cost, durable and green replacement for hydrazine

The objective of the NOFB project was to obtain European experience in propellant composition, handling, operating and integration of NOFB propulsion technology. Nitrous oxide fuel blend (NOFB) propellants offer the potential of bi-propellant performance with mono-propellant system complexity. Nitrous oxide and the potential fuels that makes NOFB are all considered ‘green’ and the chance that the use of these components will be restricted by REACH legislation is negligible.
