High concentration hydrogen peroxide (HTP) has the potential to become the propellant of choice for low cost, high performance satellite propulsion. Until now it has only been used in launch vehicles because HTP's long term stability depends on un-conventional material choices.The UK is already leading the way in developing HTP thrusters for small satellites and this project will attempt to close the remaining gaps to enable a whole system to be created. Firstly the compatibility of the required materials will be validated through testing, secondly a new valve will be developed to regulate the flow into the thruster & thirdly a new tank will be manufactured out of a novel aluminium metal matrix composite. This material allows a tank with the chemical properties of Aluminium with the strength of Titanium.Together these components will allow the qualification of an innovative new peroxide propulsion system, making the UK a world leader in green, non-toxic, high performance propulsion for small satellites.

高浓度过氧化氢（HTP）有可能成为低成本、高性能卫星推进的首选推进剂。到目前为止，它只被用于运载火箭，因为HTP的长期稳定性取决于非传统的材料选择。英国已经在为小型卫星开发HTP推进器方面处于领先地位，该项目将试图填补剩余的空白，以创建一个完整的系统。首先，将通过测试验证所需材料的兼容性，其次，将开发一种新的阀门来调节进入推进器的流量，第三，将用新型铝金属基复合材料制造一种新的油箱。这种材料使油箱具有铝的化学特性和钛的强度。这些组件将共同允许创新的新型过氧化物推进系统的资格，使英国成为小型卫星绿色，无毒，高性能推进的世界领导者。
