An oxidizer package for use in a solid fuel propellant system. The oxidizer package comprises a solid oxidizer in the form of discrete pellets of predetermined geometric shape. The pellets are arranged in an array with spaces amongst the pellets. A holder is provided for maintaining the pellets in the array for receipt of a binder introduced to spaces amongst the array of pellets. Preferred propellants include hydrazinium nitroformate and nitronium perchlorate. This arrangement for the pellets can achieve loadings as high as 85% by weight for the pellets.

Propellant system for solid fuel rocket

The present invention is directed to a solid propellant for rocket motors, gas generators and comparable devices, comprising a cured composition of hydrazinium nitroformate and an unsaturated hydroxyl terminated hydrocarbon compound.

Hydrazinium nitroformate based high performance solid propellants

The invention relates to crystalline hydrazinium nitroformate having a length to diameter ratio of at most 2.5 and a sensitivity to friction and shock not below 20 N and 2 J, respectively, as well as to a method for the preparation thereof.
