Hi Mr. Zagar





Hydrogen peroxide has been used to make rockets for 60~ years. It was first used by the Germans during World War II to make T-Stoff. This rocket only contained 80% H2O2, but it still worked. Later on, that same type of steam was used to generate Turbopump in the V2 rocket, which was the world's first long range ballustic missile. During this time, there a company titled Hellmuth Walter Kommanditgesellschaft which focused on making rockets using H2O2 as a propellant. This company launched the V-1 flying bomb. It was then picked up by the british in the 1950s, but was abandonded by the end of the 1960s. It picked up again in the 1990s for the Black Horse. As time leads on, people become more concerned for the environment, and have been considering H2O2 as a propellant more often.
