One of the propellants used in a bipropellant rocket engine has a vapor pressure sufficiently high under prevailing condition to generate vapor at a pressure sufficiently high to pressurize both the volatile component and the second rocket propellant and provide substantially the sole means for forcing the two rocket propellants from their storage to the rocket engine. In the preferred arrangement, both the components will be stored within the same pressure vessel, one preferably being contained within an expandable/collapsible bladder.
