Rocket that uses a single propellant with a catalyst
A monopropellant rocket (or "monochemical rocket") is a rocket that uses a single chemical as its propellant.[1] Monopropellant rockets are commonly used as small attitude and trajectory control rockets in satellites, rocket upper stages, manned spacecraft, and spaceplanes.[2]
