I'm guessing kerosene or some derivative, but what about the oxidizer. If they're fueling today and not launching for 3-7 days, LOX seems a poor choice due to boil-off, no? Could be using h2o2+synfuel. (one hell of a kick) ~ BG Unlikely to be such a drastic change of fuel, and no, it won't give 'one hell of a kick'. H2O2 combinations all have a relatively low specific impulse. |
