Hot Test of Cryogenic Engine Successful, Says ISRO

Model of CE-20 Cryogenic Rocket Engine​

TIRUNELVELI:GSLV MK-3, high power integrated cryogenic engine, was hot tested successfully at ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC), Mahendragiri, Tirunelveli district on Saturday.

IPRC Director D. Karthikesan said as part of an important milestone in developing a heavy lift launch vehicle, GSLV MK-3, for the next generation, a major milestone was achieved when the cryogenic CE-20 engine was hot tested.

It was successfully tested for 20 seconds at ISRO Propulsion Complex(IPRC), Mahendragiri on Saturday.

“It is yet another milestone achievement on the road map of developing a bigger and more powerful indigenously built high thrust cryogenic upper stage for GSLV MK3 rocket for the Indian Space Programme,” said Karthikesan.

The Cryogenic CE-20 engine was a fully indigenous engine of ISRO and delivered a thrust of 20 tonnes. All the major parameters of CE-20 engine were normal and further tests were planned in the coming months, he added.

IPRC scientists said it was tested at around 3-45pm.

Various subsystems of CE-20, such as injector, thrust chamber, gas generator, LOX and LH2 turbo pumps were tested earlier at IPRC, Mahendragiri.

Why its called Hot Test...?....plZ post a pic of Mahendragiri Coplex .

thanks

thanks

I guess hot test means firing the engine....
Plz clarify....

Can someone explain how this works:
The wiki states MK3 is about 640 tons. Thrust of engine is about 200 kN. Meaning it would take about 32 engines to just balance the weight of MK3, no acceleration.

The first stage consists of two boosters of 525 tons each. That is what accelerates it out of the atmo. The cryogenic engine is for the final stage. ie, most of the rocket mass is detached.

How much more time until it is cleared for mass production

it means engine is ignited

Hot test is to test the rocket engine on ground on a stand - it is a static test - This one is of CE-7.5 -

Here this process is explained in detail @ 02:20 minutes!

How much more time until it is cleared for mass production

Two more years - by 2017.

Congrats to ISRO and people of India. Is there an actual flight test planned?

CE 20 engine had cold test in November 2014 and hot test concluded just recently ...
They will need to validate and re test again .

The actual test with full configuration will be onboard GSLV-III D-1 mission in early 2017.

which is a fine time line ...
this is the most crucial for ISRO's future stake in international satellite launch market .

so it is clear that Chandrayan 2 mission will have to use GSLV Mk II launch vehicle .

Does GSLV mkII use anothe CE engine? I wonder what is the load for the 2017 mission you mentioned above.
