   N20/propane as monopropellant   
   02 Feb 05 21:22:04

   I noticed some discussion of this combination some time back.   
      
   Is there any reason that rather than having separate N20 and propane tanks   
   you can't have the gases mixed in a single tank?  Would the propane, being   
   a hydrocarbon, make the N20 shock sensitive?  Or does the big difference in   
   the vapour pressures mean that it is more structurally efficient to have a   
   separate (lighter gauge) propane tank?
