Abstract
A series of chemical propellants and atomic working fluids, covering a wide range of density-specific impulse values, are compared with respect to vehicle performance and design parameters. The changing influence of density and specific impulse with increasing performance is discussed. Ranges for favorable application of different fluids are indicated and their respective limits of applicability shown for ascent in a gravity field as well as for space flight.
