What Does HYG Stand For?

HYG stands for LHypergolic

HYG, or LHypergolic, refers to a class of chemical propellants that ignite spontaneously upon contact with an oxidizer, eliminating the need for an external ignition source. This property enhances the safety and reliability of rocket propulsion systems, making HYG propellants particularly valuable in space exploration and satellite launch applications.
