Abstract
This article gives a short introduction into the technology of gelled propellant rocket motors and gas generators. A brief introduction outlines the specific Features of the German green gelled propellant rocket Motor technology and the family of monopropellants that cover a variety of requirements with respect to smoke, combustion temperature, and combustion pressure ranges. The discussion of the hazard potential comprises military insensitive munitions (IM) and civil classifications as well as a comparative assessment of the environmental and health Impacts from manufacturing over use and finally to disposal. Summarizing the properties over all categories shows that gelled propellants provide a unique combination of good insensitivity and low environmental and health hazard potential compared to other liquid propellants, fuels, and oxidizers or solid rocket propellants.
