Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Green Propellant Infusion Mission (GPIM) project will demonstrate the practical capabilities of a hydroxyl ammonium nitrate fuel/oxidizer blend, known as AF-M315E. This innovative, low-toxicity propellant, developed by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, is a high-performance, "green" alternative to hydrazine.

The researches claim it offers nearly 50% higher performance for a given propellant tank volume compared to a conventional hydrazine system.

The Green Propellant Infusion Mission is scheduled to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket in late 2015.
