ISRO announced the successful completion of a methane engine test, marking a key step toward greener, cost‑effective reusable launch vehicles.
The trial demonstrated the engine's performance and reliability, reinforcing the agency's push to lower the cost of space missions while adopting environmentally friendly technologies.
Officials highlighted that the engine, powered by methane and liquid oxygen, offers higher efficiency and reduced emissions compared to traditional kerosene‑based propulsion systems.
The achievement is expected to accelerate development of next‑generation reusable rockets and strengthen India's position in the global space sector.
