Mastering a complex technology once denied to India, the Indian Space Research Organisation or ISRO crossed an important milestone today when it successfully tested the country's latest and most powerful cryogenic engine for 800 seconds.
The cryogenic engine will power ISRO's next generation monster rocket, the Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III, capable of carrying the 8 ton class of satellites to space
Isro's indigenously developed High Thrust Cryogenic Rocket Engine has successfully completed a ground test for a duration of 800 seconds on July 16. This is India's first such indigenously developed engine.
The engine, generating a nominal thrust of 19 tonnes was successfully endured the hot test at the Isro Propulsion Complex, Mahendragiri.
"Mastering this complex, high performance cryogenic propulsion technology will go a long way in building self reliance for the Indian space programme,"
