<p>This week I talked to <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/LoganKamperschroer">Logan Kamperschroer</a>, a Graduate Research Assistant at the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University. Logan’s research <a href="https://engineering.purdue.edu/Hypergol/">focuses on hypergolic rocket fuels</a>—specifically the push to move away from the toxic storable propellants (hydrazine and its derivatives) to “greener” alternatives. We talked about the current state of storable propellants, and where things are going in the near future.</p>
