ISRO fires up next-gen rocket engine, marking key milestone in development of new propulsion system
India's space agency, ISRO, has achieved a significant breakthrough with a successful hot test of its new semi-cryogenic engine power head. Reaching 88% of its target thrust, this crucial step demonstrates stable operation and builds confidence for a full 200-ton thrust demonstration. This advanced propulsion system, utilizing liquid oxygen and kerosene, is set to significantly boost the payload capacity of ISRO's LVM3 rocket.
