“…However, in addition to affecting their hygroscopicity, the particle size and morphology of ADN crystals also influence their mechanical properties. 33 Most ADN crystals obtained by current preparation methods are needle-like or flaky, with high mechanical sensitivity. In contrast, ADN with a spherical morphology shows reduced mechanical sensitivity and hygroscopicity.…”

In this paper, a method to reduce the hygroscopicity of the energetic oxidizer ammonium dinitramide (ADN) was proposed by modulating the surface properties of ADN crystals with additive microdoping. Cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine (octogen, HMX) was selected as the additive, and a threelayer solventization model was constructed based on the adhesion energy theory by placing the additive in the solvent layer. The modified adhesion energies and moisture absorption rates of each ADN crystal surface were calculated under the effects of different solvents and additives. The effects of additives on the crystal growth and crystal morphology of ADN in the presence of different solvents were investigated. The interactions between different solvents and crystalline surfaces were analyzed, and the modification of the attachment energy was calculated. The results showed that utilizing HMX as an additive significantly influenced the ADN crystal morphology, crystal face occupancy, and growth rate in different solvent environments. HMX showed the best antihygroscopicity performance as an ADN additive in a dichloromethane (DCM) solvent environment, and the percentage of antihygroscopic crystal faces on the ADN crystal surfaces increased up to 74.70%.

“…When compared to hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide, ADN's value changes dramatically. Wioleta Kopacz, et al, discusses the potential use of hydrogen peroxide (HTP) as oxidizer for solid rocket propulsion in form of grains [5]. It has been known for many decades, but its application has been limited due to storability and safety issues.…”

As humanity is moving towards becoming a multi-planetary civilization, it is very important to make efficient use of resources available on our planet first and then head towards exploiting the resources of another celestial body. It is also important to cause minimum harm to the space environment around our planet as well as the planetary atmosphere. Advancement in conventional rocket fuel is one of the ways to optimize the consumption of fuel during a space launch but it cannot always be feasible. Finding cheaper alternatives like Biofuels can also be a significant point of discussion. Such fuels can be naturally obtained without much harm to the environment and they can be as effective as conventional rocket fuel. For complete sustainability, not only internal changes but also external changes should be considered. To attain space sustainability, we need to follow a technology-driven approach while considering the cost and effective management of the space missions. This paper is a review of various techniques involved in the sustainable development of space vehicles, and effects of existing techniques involved during the launch of the space vehicle.

“…The suitable physicochemical properties, excellent energetic properties, and high catalytic activity of all the hypergolic reactions have demonstrated the great potential of these energetic complexes as promoters for the development of green hypergolic bipropellants. Kopacz et al, in their paper discussed the potential use of hydrogen peroxide as oxidizer for solid rocket propulsion [21]. Hydrogen peroxide is a liquid in normal conditions, but it may be used in solid rocket motor grains.…”

Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is a promising and nontoxic oxidant. In recent years considerable attention has been paid to the development of hypergolic system compositions, because the use of them not only markedly simplifies the engine design and rocket system operation but also provides the possibility of their repeated use. Moreover, their high performance, high environmental compatibility and low toxicity make them highly preferable. The present review considers recent works on hypergolic systems involving hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizer and various green propellants of organic and inorganic nature with or without certain additives.
