Successful Flight Acceptance Hot Test of CE-20 Cryogenic Engine for Chandrayaan-3 Mission

The flight acceptance hot test of the CE-20 cryogenic engine that will power the Cryogenic Upper Stage of the LVM3 launch vehicle for the Chandrayaan-3 Mission was successfully conducted on February 24, 2023 at the ISRO Propulsion Complex, Mahendragiri in Tamil Nadu.

The hot test was carried out for a planned duration of 25 seconds at the High-Altitude Test Facility.

All the propulsion parameters during the test were found satisfactory and closely matched with predictions.

Now, the cryogenic engine will be further integrated with the propellant tanks, stage structures and associated fluid lines to realise the fully integrated flight cryogenic stage.
