Isro carries out demo of restarting Vikas liquid engine

Deccan Chronicle  

Bengaluru: The Indian Space Research Organisation has successfully carried out a demonstration of restarting its Vikas liquid engine at a test facility at Propulsion Complex in Mahendragiri, the space agency said on Saturday. The space agency said the Vikas engine is the workhorse that powers the liquid stages of its launch vehicles. The stage was designed and developed by Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre during the development of the LVM3 launch vehicle and is powered by twin Vikas engines with a propellant loading of 110 tonnes, the ISRO said. "This stage is the tenth L110 liquid stage integrated at Isro Propulsion Complex, Mahendragiri and is earmarked for the LVM3 mission under a commercial agreement between NewSpace India Limited and AST SpaceMobile & Science, LLC to launch their BlueBird Block 2 satellite," the agency said in a statement.
