The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully carried out a 220 kN hot test of the CE20 engine, a key component for the LVM3 launch vehicle.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) conducted a 220 kN hot test of the CE20 engine, which is a crucial part of the LVM3 launch vehicle's propulsion system.
The test was carried out at ISRO’s propulsion testing facility and demonstrated that the engine can deliver the required thrust while maintaining operational stability.
This successful trial marks a significant milestone in the development of the LVM3, confirming the reliability of the CE20 engine for future missions.
ISRO plans to conduct additional hot and cold tests before the next scheduled LVM3 launch, aiming to meet the projected launch timeline.
