Respect for the environment calls for new research to find propellants to replace those derived from hydrazine in particular. In the framework of the rocket propulsion studies conducted in the Propulsion Laboratory, a new test facility is to be constructed to compare the performance obtained using different propellant pairs. This test facility was studied this year (figure 1). It has to be relatively rustic so that the different fuels to be tested can be used easily and at low cost, so it has to be modular too.
