Variation in Shell 405 Catalyst Physical Characteristics, Test Catalyst Preparation

Abstract

This report describes the continuation of a study for the Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory to develop a catalyst of the Shell 405 type with improved durability to repeated cold starts using monopropellant hydrazine. Besides furnishing some standard grades of Shell 405 Catalyst, three experimental catalysts containing 36%, 44%, and 55% iridium were prepared for evaluation by the AFRPL.
