Abstract

In rocket launchers, where operational safety and high reliability are key factors, environmentally friendly propellants, in particular, hydrogen peroxide solutions, are widely used as fuel. The authors study the composition of highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizer for liquid rocket fuels. Different areas of using chromatograph mass spectrometry in the aerospace industry are considered. A comparative analysis is performed for ways of detecting and measuring impurities in highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide by means of chromatograph mass spectrometry.
