Basics

- A rocket engine that uses the conversion of a liquid (such as high test hydrogen peroxide) to gas using a catalyst

- is low power, but very simple (Both in design and fuels), and reliable

- Thus it is mainly useful in RCS Systems

- A modified version can be used to power a steam turbine engine
