hydrazine
Spacecraft thruster liquid
Hydrazine is a colorless, highly reactive chemical compound used primarily as rocket fuel and in industrial synthesis.
Its high energy content and clean combustion make it valuable for spacecraft propulsion: The satellite's thrusters use hydrazine for orbital adjustments.
The compound is toxic and requires careful handling.
