Transtage Catalyst Evaluation.
Abstract
An investigation of possible catalyst contamination was made in support of the Titan IIIC Transtage program. Hydrazine was decomposed in a 5-pound thrustor using the Transtage attitude-control system (ACS)duty cycle. Each test catalyst was subjected to the duty cycle three times. Shell 405 catalyst samples which had been exposed to nitrogen tetroxide and UDMH/N2H4 (50/50) were tested. A sample of Shell 405 was tested with hydrazine containing 2.5% aniline by weight. A Shell 405 type catalyst containing approximately half the normal active material was tested. All four samples survived the tests. All four samples performed essentially the same as a baseline sample of uncontaminated Shell 405 in neat hydrazine. (Author)
