MON25 Table Balance

Description

MON-25 is a specialized oxidizer used in rocket propulsion, specifically formulated for applications requiring operation in extremely cold environments; it’s a mixture of 25% nitric oxide (NO) and 75% nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4), and this specific composition is crucial for lowering the oxidizer’s freezing point, making it suitable for deep-space missions and lunar landers. While this reduction in freezing point is a key advantage, the increased nitric oxide content also results in a higher vapor pressure, which influences the design of the propellant systems that utilize it.
