N2O4/Aerozine-50
N2O4/Aerozine-50 propellant. Nitrogen tetroxide became the storable liquid propellant of choice from the late 1950's. Aerozine was a 50-50 mixture of hydrazine and UDMH developed for use in the Titan missile family; it had a higher boiling point than UDMH. This propellant combination was copied in one Russian missile but otherwise straight UDMH was used in Russia.

Oxidizer Density: 1.450 g/cc. Oxidizer Freezing Point: -11 deg C. Oxidizer Boiling Point: 21 deg C. Fuel Density: 0.903 g/cc. Fuel Freezing Point: -7 deg C. Fuel Boiling Point: 70 deg C.
