GOX/Sintin propellant. Gaseous oxygen was proposed for use together with the main engine propellant Sintin, synthetic kerosene, in Russian spacecraft maneuvering engine and orientation thrusters. However the collapse of the Soviet Union brought the production of Sintin, and any spacecraft that may have used it, to an end.
Propellant Formulation: GOX/Sintin. Oxidizer Freezing Point: -219 deg C. Oxidizer Boiling Point: -183 deg C. Fuel Density: 0.806 g/cc. Fuel Freezing Point: -73 deg C. Fuel Boiling Point: 147 deg C.
