100% Brazilian Technology

Motivation

Brazil urgently needs to enable in the technology of liquid rocket engines, as much for use in satellites how much in launch vehicles.
The liquid propellents currently used by Brazil are restricted to the use in the control of attitude of satellites and orbital injection, and are the hydrazine and the nitrogen tetroxide, both imported, expensive and extremely highly toxic ones.

The peroxide of hydrogen and the ethanol are produced on a large scale in Brazil with low cost.

The hydrogen peroxide is produced currently it Brazil in companies as Degussa (100,000 tons/year) and the Peroxides of Brazil (120,000 tons/year), this peroxide is commercialized in concentrations of 35%, 50%, 60% and 70%.
The amount of Ethanol produced currently in Brazil is of 16 million tons per year.

The existence of a great installed industrial park, the security in the handling, low toxic, low cost of the technological domain makes of the mixture hydrogen peroxide ethanol a choice certain.

Technological innovation

The use in propellents of launch vehicles also is seen as alternative sufficiently promising.

As already it was demonstrated by the successful English space program of the decade of 70.
The hydrogen peroxide historically already was very used with success as propellent in propulsive systems monopropellant and bipropellant; as example: the rocket engines German of World War II and the successful British space program.
