Thruster propellants

Abstract

The present invention relates to thruster propellants, processes of making thruster propellants and space vehicles comprising thrusters that employ such propellants. The disclosed thruster propellants are advantageous because do not readily uptake water and are conductive. Furthermore, when compared to previous thruster propellants they have a higher mass, a higher density and/or a lower surface tension. Thus, when used in a thruster, such propellants can generate equal or higher thrust than previous thruster propellants.
