The 'Dhawan-1,' India's first privately developed completely cryogenic rocket engine, was successfully tested at the Solar Industries test facility in Hyderabad city.
The cryogenic rocket engine was built and tested at the Solar Industries propulsion test facility in Nagpur by Skyroot Aerospace of Hyderabad.
The rocket engine is powered by two high-performance rocket propellants: liquid natural gas (LNG) and liquid oxygen (LoX).
This is the first time that a private company in India has successfully designed, developed, and tested a full solid propulsion rocket stage.
Cryogenic engines are rocket propulsion systems that use cryogenic propellants to achieve high efficiency (less than -150 degrees Celsius).
