Draco

Draco thrusters generate 400 newtons (90 pounds-force) of thrust using a storable propellant mixture of monomethyl hydrazine fuel and nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer.

Eighteen Draco thrusters are used on the Dragon spacecraft for attitude control and maneuvering. Dual-redunĀ­dant in all axes: any two can fail and still have complete vehicle control in pitch, yaw, roll and translation.

Four Draco thrusters are used on the Falcon 9 second-stage as a reaction control system.
