Liquid propellants for the purpose of generating hot gases are described, which propellants comprise solution of a dinitramide compound and a fuel, and are especially suited for space applications, and exhibit the following properties exhibit the following properties: low toxicity; no toxic or combustible vapors; high theoretical specific impulse (as compared to hydrazine); high density (as compared to hydrazine); easily ignitable; storable at a temperature between +10.degree. C. and +50.degree. C.; low sensitivity.
