“…Initially, glycerol was chosen due to the superior thermal ignition properties of the ADN/glycerol/water-blend. This monopropellant formulation was denoted LMP-101 [168]. However, it was consequently discovered that LMP-101 suffered from poor thermal stability, and ultimately it was rejected for further development.…”

“…in a total of 9 experimental thrusters with different configurations. In 2000 the first paper on this topic [168] was published and the study was completed in November of that year. The high temperature resistant catalyst suitable for ionic propellants was invented in November 2000.…”

“…In order to suggest alternatives to toxic propellants, more than 100 propellants with significant reduced toxicity were established in a database and different propellants were investigated in different propulsion systems within the framework of the GRASP project [74][75][76]78,82,90,97]. A number of the investigated propellants were hydrogen peroxide [77,[79][80][81]86,88,89,95,96,98], ethanol [92], kerosene [101], ammonium dinitramide (ADN) [93,102,134,159,[169][170][171][174][175]179,181,183,[185][186]200], turpentine [101], dipentene [97], and high density polyethylene (HDPE) [74,75].…”

“…Ionic liquid monopropellants are usually mixtures of an oxidizer salt, a fuel and water. The most studied oxidizer salts for propellant applications are HNF (hydrazinium nitroformate) [128,129]; HAN (hydroxylammonium nitrates) [130,131]; ADN (ammonium dinitramide) [168,132].…”

“…TRL-6 was achieved in 2007 for the propellant (LMP-103S) and propulsion system (including the thruster). The development of the propellant and the thruster has previously been described in [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. ADN-based monopropellant candidates have been tested with >10% higher specific impulse and >30% higher density, compared to Hydrazine.…”

The concept of a storable liquid monopropellant blend for space applications based on Ammonium Dinitramide (ADN) was invented in 1997, within a co-operation between the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) and the Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI). The objective was to develop a propellant which has higher performance and is safer than hydrazine. The work has been performed under contract from the Swedish National Space Board and ESA. The progress of the development has been presented in several papers since 2000.ECAPS, a subsidiary of the Swedish Space Corporation was established in 2000 with the aim to develop and market the novel "High Performance Green Propellant" (HPGP) technology for space applications. The new technology is based several innovations and patents w.r.t. propellant formulation and thruster design, including a high temperature resistant catalyst and thrust chamber.The first flight demonstration of the HPGP propulsion system will be performed on PRISMA. PRISMA is an international technology demonstration program with Swedish Space Corporation as the Prime Contractor. This paper describes the performance, characteristics, design and verification of the HPGP propulsion system for PRISMA. Compatibility issues related to using a new propellant with COTS components is also discussed. The PRISMA mission includes two satellites in LEO orbit were the focus is on rendezvous and formation flying. One of the satellites will act as a "target" and the main spacecraft performs rendezvous and formation flying maneuvers, were the ECAPS HPGP propulsion system will provide delta-V capability.
