                         oxides-based catalyst with spinel structure to the decomposition 
                         of the storable green monopropellant H(2)O(2)90 wt%. The 5.4 % 
                         Co0.5Mn2.5O4/Al(2)O(3)catalyst was tested in a series of 
                         continuous and pulsed 2 N thruster firings, yielding a fast and 
                         repetitive performance, spontaneously and completely decomposing 
                         H(2)O(2)90 wt% without undergoing deactivation or fragmentation 
                         during the tests. A specific impulse of 104 s and a characteristic 
                         velocity of 881 m/s were reached, so that the characteristic 
                         velocity efficiency amounted to 93.7 %. The adiabatic 
                         decomposition temperature of the monopropellant (756 degrees C) 
                         was also reached, thus evidencing the effectiveness of the 5.4 % 
                         Co0.5Mn2.5O4/Al(2)O(3)catalyst. Its excellent activity in the 
                         decomposition of H(2)O(2)90 wt% was attributed to the presence of 
                         the redox pairs Mn2+/Mn(3+)and Co2+/Co3+, therefore making it a 
                         feasible material for low and medium thrust propulsive systems.",
