We have to look for safe and non - hazardous characterstics when trying to find new propellants.

<h3>What are propellants ?</h3>

Propellants are any gas, liquid, or solid the expansion of which can be used to impart motion to another substance or object.

The Desirable properties for propellant combinations are ;

low molecular mass and high temperature of reaction products (for high exhaust velocity),
high density (to minimize tank weight),
low hazard factor (e.g., corrosivity and toxicity),
low environmental impact,
low cost.
