UDMH (Unsymmetrical Dimethylhydrazine)

UDMH (Unsymmetrical Dimethylhydrazine) is a highly reactive, colorless liquid used as a rocket fuel. Chemically, it’s a specialized propellant that provides the energy needed to launch spacecraft. Its viscosity and properties allow it to be stored and pumped efficiently. While effective, it is toxic and hazardous to handle, requiring strict safety measures. UDMH is often combined with an oxidizer like nitrogen tetroxide to propel spacecraft into orbit or beyond. Despite its dangers, it remains vital in space technology due to its stability and performance as a rocket fuel.
