HAN can be added with fuel components such as methanol, glycine, TEAN (tri-ethanol-ammonium nitrate), and amines to form best high performance monopropellants for space propulsion systems. China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) launched a demonstration of HAN-based thruster aboard a microsatellite in January 2018. Japanese technology demonstration satellite Innovative Satellite Technology Demonstration-1, launched in January 2019, contains a demonstration thruster using HAN and operated successfully in orbit. HAN is sometimes used in nuclear reprocessing as a reducing agent for plutonium ions. Bibliography Donald G. Harlow et al. (1998). "Technical Report on Hydroxlyamine Nitrate".
