20-22
June 2001
ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands
This event is combined with the 4th International Hydrogen Peroxide Propulsion Conference.
The objective of this Conference is to review recent progress in both green and non-toxic propellants for space applications and to provide a forum to share views and ideas about the future of this technology. LOX/LH2, an important launcher propellant well covered in other Conferences, will not be a topic at this Conference. A rocket liquid propulsion symposium, with cryogenics as its major topic, is planned in 2002 with CNES as the main organiser.
