Green Propellant Infusion Mission

Green propellant infusion mission is like when you want to make a rocket go up to space but you don't want to use the same kind of fuel that makes cars go on the ground because it is not good for the environment. Instead, you use a special fuel that is made from things that are better for our planet, like hydrogen and oxygen.

Scientists and engineers work together to make this special fuel and test it to make sure it will make the rocket go as fast and as far as it needs to go. They want to make sure it is safe too so that nobody gets hurt.

Once they know that the special fuel is going to work, they put it in the rocket and launch it up into space. They can then study it, learn from it and use what they find out to make even better rockets in the future. This is called a green propellant infusion mission because it is like putting something new and special into the rocket to make it better for the planet.
