Source:<\/strong> This post on the Implications of India\u2019s Indigenous Cryogenic Engine has been created based on the article \u201cNext stage \u2013 Indigenous cryogenic engine lift-off for India\u2019s space programme<\/strong>\u201d published in \u201cBusiness Standard<\/strong>\u201d on 22nd<\/sup> February 2024.<\/p>\n

UPSC Syllabus Topic: <\/strong>GS Paper 3 Science & Technology \u2013 Awareness in the fields of Space.<\/p>\n

News:<\/strong> The article discusses the recent launch of Insat-3DS by ISRO. It also discusses the various applications of Indigenous Cryogenic Engine India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Background:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently, 3rd-generation weather satellite Insat-3DS<\/strong> was launched by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).<\/p>\n

Why was this significant?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Enhances India\u2019s weather-prediction abilities:<\/strong> Insat-3DS offers enhanced coverage of oceans.<\/li>\n
  2. Indigenous Cryogenic Engine Capabilities:<\/strong> The engine, the GSLV F14 rocket with a cryogenic third stage<\/strong> performed as expected. There are only 6 nations, including India, which possess this capability.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What are Cryogenic engines?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Cryogenic engines use mixes of liquefied gases (usually hydrogen and oxygen)<\/strong>, which deliver greater thrust to weight. These rockets can carry greater payload<\/strong> at higher speeds (Over 6,000 kg into Low Earth Orbit and over 2,000 kg into higher geostationary orbits).<\/p>\n

    Liquid hydrogen and oxygen are stored separately at very low temperatures and combust explosively when brought together. These complexities require expertise in design and material sciences.<\/p>\n
