Cryogenic Engine

Cryogenic engine is an unique engine that use cryogenic fuel-oxidizer combination at very low temperature. They are liquid propellant rocket engines. The most widely used combination is Liquid hydrogen(LH2) - Liquid oxygen(LOX). The 300N cryogenic propellant engine has an vacuum Isp of 415 seconds - the highest value achieved in Europe for an engine of such small size. Faced with ostracization, India chose to develop the engine on its own. India's growing prowess in space technology has made it possible to fortunately develop the cryogenic engine on its own. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning to relaunch the GSLV-D3 with its home-grown cryogenic engine in a year's time after its failure in April this year. A decades effort has been deployed to successfully showcase our country's indigenous cryogenic technology thus becoming the sixth nation to develop cryogenic rocket engine and to become a low cost launcher who would threaten the launch market!!!..:=)
