Green propellant LMP-103S

LMP-103S stands as a pioneering achievement in propellant performance

30% better performance than traditional hydrazine per volume

Invented in 1997 and proudly manufactured and blended in Sweden

LMP 103S Overview

ECAPS flight-proven monopropellant, called LMP-103S, provides significantly increased performance and reduced hazards compared to monopropellant hydrazine. This results in reduced handling costs and about 30% increase in delivered impulse for the same spacecraft tank volume.

Propellant Blend

  • ADN : 63.0%

  • METHANOL : 18.4%

  • AMMONIA : 4.6%

  • WATER : 14.0%

Key Benefits

  • ISP > 6%
