Dear Amanda

The impossible can be done! All the elements you wish to monitor can be
achieved at that temperature or higher assuming that the rockets exhaust
chamber, including the nozzle venturi is kept at a reasonable temperature
and the oxidizer does not form a solid at that temperature with carbon. The
solution won't be cheap and probably won't last more then one or two test
firings. If you are interested contact me off the memsnet.
