ALICE (propellant)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. ALICE is a rocket propellant which consists of nanoaluminium powder and water. After mixing, the material is frozen to keep it stable. Hence, the name ALICE, for ALuminium ICE rocket propellant.
