Are you part of the team?<p>I was looking for more technical info, like what &quot;bi-propelant&quot; means. It took me a while to find <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gruyerespaceprogram.ch&#x2F;program&#x2F;F-100.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gruyerespaceprogram.ch&#x2F;program&#x2F;F-100.html</a> (linked in the main page, but I didn&#x27;t see it.)<p>&gt; <i>F-100 is our rocket hopper bi-propellant engine. This engine uses N2O and IPA for a maximal thrust of 1.2kN and a minimal thrust under 0.5kN.</i><p>IPA is isopropanol?
