Speaking of Titan configurations, was Titan 2 / Gemini the only
historical instance where spacecraft maneuvering and booster main
propulsion used the same propellant combination? I think all the
Gemini RCS/OMS motors burned N2O4 with "50-50" (like the Titan 2
itself), didn't they?
Gemini's propellants were N204 and MMH, so same oxidizer but different
variety of hydrazine.
The only other possibility would be Chinese Shenzhou spacecraft and
CZ-2F launcher, but the launcher uses UDMH as a fuel while the
spacecraft uses MMH (both with N2O4 as an oxidizer).
