ISRO Successfully Tests Cryogenic Engine for LVM3-M6 Mission

  • 17 Mar 2025

On 15th March 2025, ISRO successfully completed the flight acceptance hot testing of the cryogenic engine for the sixth operational mission of the LVM3 launch vehicle (LVM-M6) at the ISRO Propulsion Complex in Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu.

Key Points

  • Launch Vehicle: LVM3, a three-stage medium-lift launch vehicle developed by ISRO.
  • Testing Process: Cryogenic engines undergo hot testing before flight as part of the acceptance process.
  • Innovation: A new test method significantly reduces setup time, ensuring faster cryogenic stage delivery.
  • Performance: The CE20 engine met all test objectives, with parameters closely aligning with predictions.
  • Next Step: The engine will be integrated into the Cryogenic Upper Stage of LVM3-M6, scheduled for the second half of 2025.
