The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has successfully concluded the flight acceptance hot test of the CE-20 Cryogenic Engine.
This engine intends to power the Cryogenic Upper Stage of the LVM3 launch vehicle for the Lunar Mission, Chandrayaan-3.
This cryogenic engine is further integrated with propellant tanks, associated fluid lines, and space structures, as described by the Space Agency.
This flight acceptance hot test comes a day after the Chandrayaan-3 lander successfully completed the crucial EMI-EMC (Electromagnetic Interference/ Electromagnetic Compatibility) test.
Chandrayaan-3 is India’s third moon mission and is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface.
The mission is slated to be launched later this year by Launch Vehicle Mark 3 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota.
