HypergoLeak offers improved selective and sensitive detection of individual components of hypergolic propellants such as liquid fuels and oxidizers. Initially developed to meet the Missile Defense Agency's needs, HypergoLeak can be adapted to monitor hypergolic propellants and other chemicals.

Hypergolic propellants are commonly used in rocket engines because of their reliability and repeatability during ignition and combustion without an ignition system. While highly effective, hypergolic propellants are also highly corrosive, toxic and carcinogenic. Hence, reliable leak detection measures are critical for handling, storage and transport of these materials to ensure personnel and mission safety.

HypergoLeak can be integrated into missile canisters for early warning leak detection. The compact size and rugged housing allow integration even in small propellant storage locations.
