Oxygen Propellant

Oxygen propellant is a type of liquid propellant fuel and oxidizer that is commonly used in rocket engines and other propulsion systems. It falls under the supply class of Liquid Propellant Fuels And Oxidizers and belongs to the supply group of Fuels, Lubricants, Oils, And Waxes.

Oxygen propellant is a chemical base that consists of pure oxygen (O2) in a liquid state. It is highly reactive and serves as an oxidizer, providing the necessary oxygen for the combustion of the fuel in the propulsion system.

In rocket engines, oxygen propellant is typically combined with a fuel, such as liquid hydrogen or kerosene, to create a highly energetic mixture that can generate thrust. The oxygen acts as the oxidizer, allowing the fuel to burn and release energy in the form of hot gases, which are expelled through a nozzle to produce thrust.

Oxygen propellant is widely used in various space exploration missions, satellite launches, and other aerospace applications. It is known for its high performance and efficiency, making it a crucial component in the field of rocket propulsion.

Please note that the handling and storage of oxygen propellant require strict safety protocols due to its highly reactive nature.
