ROTON type engines and liquid monopropellants
I was just thinking about monopropellants. Most have low ISPs compare
to bi-propelleants but can be very dense. ie Peroxide/Alcohol mixes
for example.
Since ROTON type engines are self-pressuring, one can build a system
with very light weight tanks and high expansion ratio engines. Could
the mass ratios of such a design lead to a reasonable TSTO rocket?
