Nitrous oxide fuel blend Nitrous oxide fuel blend Nitrous Oxide Fuel Blend propellants are a class of liquid rocket propellants intended to replace hydrazine as the standard rocket fuel. The fuel and oxidizer are blended and stored; this is sometimes referred to as a "mixed monopropellant". Upon use, the propellant is heated or passed over a catalyst bed and the nitrous oxide decomposes into oxygen-rich gasses. Combustion then ensues. Special care is needed in the chemical formulation and engine design to prevent detonating the stored fuel. The agent used for rocket fuel in a shuttle is paramount; weight, thrust, cost, toxicity, risk of explosions
