Propellants having the combustion efficiency and high burning rates normally only achieved with perchlorates, have now been formulated with ammonium nitrate as the primary oxidizer, and with powdered metal fuel, all of which permits the use of lesser amounts of perchlorate oxidizer. These novel formulations greatly reduce the total hydrogen chloride emissions to the atmosphere, and hence are particularly desirable for the Space Shuttle propulsion systems.
