3 days ago · Propulsion was via a bi-propellant system, using unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) and inhibited red fuming nitric acid (IRFNA). The Agena propulsion systems could be run while the Gemini was docked, allowing the GATV to be used to change the orbit of the docked pair.
5 days ago · Bipropellant rocket engines of the Apollo Lunar Module reaction control system (RCS) Spacecraft propulsion is any method used to accelerate spacecraft and artificial satellites. In-space propulsion exclusively deals with propulsion systems used in the vacuum of space and should not be confused with space launch or atmospheric entry .
5 days ago · Eliminating propellant lines, valves, tanks and pressurization complies with the size and weight limitations of CubeSat designs. Typically, the propellant used by the system is a liquid-salt that is non-toxic and held inside a plastic tank as main propellant reservoir.

3 days ago · Spacecraft and Subsystems. The Atlas-B rocket body held the communications equipment in its nose cone. This comprised two redundant sets of equipment. Each system had a 132 MHz, 8 W vacuum tube transmitter, a 150 MHz, 10 dB noise figure trnasistorized receiver, and a 300 - 1500 Hz band recorder with 4 minute capacity.
4 days ago · GOES-R, S, T, U launches with a propellant and pressurant load of 2,335 Kilograms with Mixed Oxides of Nitrogen and Hydrazine acting as main propellant components and Helium gas used for the pressurization of tanks. GOES is powered by a LEROS-1c main engine provided by Moog ISP.
4 days ago · Description. This flight was an orbital test of the Mercury Tracking Network and the first successful orbital flight test of the Mercury program. (All previous successful launches were suborbital.)
