                         hydrazine. A new bulk mixed oxide catalyst for decomposition of 
                         hydrogen peroxide has been developed and tested in a 2 N thruster 
                         with modular parts, allowing the use of catalytic beds with 
                         different diameters and lengths. A method of experiment design 
                         with a star configuration was implemented to optimize the 
                         catalytic bed geometry, in order to yield complete peroxide 
                         decomposition, reduce thruster size and volume and provide maximum
