ISRO Achieves New Milestone: India’s Space Agency Announces Breakthrough Achievement in Semicryogenic Engine Development, Will Increase LVM3 Payload Capacity

ISRO announced that it achieved a breakthrough in Semicryogenic Engine development. The Indian Space Research Organisation said it succeeded in a hot test of the intermediate configuration of the 2000kN Semicryogenic engine, which was designated as Power Head Test Article (PHTA) at ISRO Propulsion Complex, Mahendragiri. The PHTA test showed the integrated performance of all the engine systems, including turbopumps, pre-burner, start-system, and control components, except for the thrust chamber. The space agency said that the test went according to the planning. It said that ISRO was closer to a high thrust Semicryogenic propulsion system, helping it enhance the payload of the LVM3 launch vehicle from 4 tonnes to over 5 tonnes to GTO. Solar Eclipse 2025 Live Streaming: Will Surya Grahan Be Visible in India?
