                         development of green propellants for propulsion systems. 
                         Particularly in the low thrust domain, where a feasible 
                         alternative to the storable liquid bipropellant system hydrazine 
                         nitrogen tetroxide is yet to be fully demonstrated, the 
                         application of green hypergolic propellants such as ethanol and 
                         H2O2 90 wt% appears to be a promising one. This work presents the 
                         design and firing test of a 50 N bipropellant thruster based on 
                         the H2O2 90 wt% monoethanolamine-ethanol hypergolic pair catalyzed 
                         by Cu2+, previously developed by our research group. The 5 s 
                         firing test, conducted under a swirl injection scheme, yielded 
                         average values of 50.38 N, 147 s, and 1210 m/s for thrust, Isp, 
                         and c*, respectively, with the target value of 5 bar for the 
                         chamber pressure being reached after 2 s of operation. Alongside 
                         with a c* efficiency of 84%, these results suggest that the 
                         assessed green hypergolic bipropellant pair may be a promising 
                         alternative for applications in the low-thrust range.",
