Mighty Eagle integrated peroxide propulsion system
Mighty Eagle’s pressure-regulated monopropellant system decomposes hydrogen peroxide over silver screens, with nitrogen pressurization. Its complement comprises twelve 53.4 N attitude thrusters, three 330 N descent thrusters and one throttleable Earth Gravity Cancelling thruster of about 2,710 N. The latter offsets most terrestrial weight to simulate lunar-gravity descent.
