'''Monomethylhydrazine''' ('''MMH''') is a highly [[toxic]], [[volatility (chemistry)|volatile]] [[hydrazine]] derivative with the [[chemical formula]] {{chem2|CH6N2}}. It is used as a [[rocket propellant]] in [[bipropellant rocket]] [[engine]]s because it is [[hypergolic propellant|hypergolic]] with various oxidizers such as [[nitrogen tetroxide]] ({{chem2|N2O4}}) and [[nitric acid]] ({{chem2|HNO3}}). As a propellant, it is described in specification MIL-PRF-27404.{{cite web |title=Propellant, Monomethylhydrazine |url=https://quicksearch.dla.mil/qsDocDetails.aspx?ident_number=18796 |author=Air Force Petroleum Office |id=MIL-PRF-27404D |date=2012-04-20 |website=ASSIST (Database for Military Specifications and Military Standards) |via=Defense Standardization Program Automation Office |access-date=2025-02-06 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250206182405/https://quicksearch.dla.mil/qsDocDetails.aspx?ident_number=18796 |archive-date=2025-02-06 }} |
