First Look: India's Heaviest Launch Vehicle GSLV Mk.III with Unmanned Crew Module Onboard Rolled Out

[TimeToScoot]

Cyrogenic engines use Liquid Hydrogen in place of Kerosene used by the Semi-Cyros. While cyrogenic engines are more efficient as compared to semi's (google specific impulse) and therefore can theoretically haul more weight, they are much more costly and much more technically challenging to make (esp. with increasing size) which is why Russians went to cyrogenics only after 1980's and used semi's before. ISRO should have also followed a similar path; but no, these idiots are probably like Kennedy in the 1960's - we are going there (moon) not because its easy but because its hard. LOL

Thanks for the reply buddy. Any information/estimation on how much the semi-cryogenic engine, once developed, will be able to put in both LEO and GTO?

Use in GSLV Mk-3 Upgrade
The 2000 kN SCE is envisaged to initially replace the L-110 core stage of the GSLV Mk-3 allowing an upgraded version of the launcher to lift a 6 ton payload into a GTO, instead of the current 4 ton.

They have used truss bars instead of total covering , at junction of cryo and liq. stage.

In future we'll have this

When will the heavy launch vehicle be ready? Also this look more like a super heavy rocket. India should first creat a heavy 25t to Leo such as delta IV first before going for the super heavy one.

To reduce boil off of cryogenic liquids and reduce thermal stress I suppose.

But GSLV Mk2 cryo stage is painted black .

If this the case we might had reached MARS only in 2025 . We posses capabilities to come par with west . But we lack fund allocation. Which is been revived in big way .

ISRO's most powerful launcher ever, GSLV Mk-III rolls out from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad for its Experimental Flight slated later in this month.

Oh and your query, if we want to become a big playa in this industry, we MUST make BIG racket. 2000Kn is just the beginning. Others have much bigger ones

Russia still uses semi-cryos ........ afaik , they still do not use any cryos in their rockets .

OMG OMG.

Aap ka quote se ek joke yaad aya!!

Making it shorter : Chhota Bacha : Mummy tum jab office chale jate ho tab pados ki aunty aate hain aur bhagwan ki puja karte hain.

Mummy : woh kaise?

Bachha : Woh papa ke saath jab akele hote hain, tab woh bolti hain "OMG..OMG!"......

This one is dedicated to all. Isko dekh ke maan khus ho gaya hai!! Please don't mind!!

Mm mm so are u implying that India is more advanced than Russia is rocket engine technology.

semi-cryo is more advanced than cryo...and better apparently...
