๐ฐ2⃣7⃣1⃣: ISRO's Cryogenic Engine๐Test Successful ๐
ISRO were successful๐ with a hotbed test of the cryogenic engine for the upper stage of the GSLV Mark 3⃣ rocket๐. The test at ISRO Propulsion Research centre at Mahendragiri lasted 640 seconds.
The cryogenic engine (CE20) generates power of approximately 2MW๐ฑ using Liquid Hydrogen at -253 degrees C and Liquid Oxygen at -193 degrees C as propellants. The engine will be vacuum tested in the high altitude test facility as part of the flight acceptance test.ISRO chairman A.S. Kiran Kumar called the test a phenomenal achievement. He confirmed that preparations were being made for the first developmental flight of the GSLV Mark 3⃣ in December 2016. MK3, the biggest rocket๐ in India, will be capable of launching 4⃣ tonne satellites into geosynchronous orbit๐.
