ISRO to flight-test GSLV with indigenous cryo on August 19

[S-DUCT]

How much flatout thrust does this engine produce at it's peak?

CE-7.5 produces around 73KN thrust in the vac.

 

[deep.ocean]

CE-7.5 produces around 73KN thrust in the vac.

Why don't they use Kaveri engine instead of CE-7.5, isn't Kaveri's thrust is more than 73KN..

dude, Kaveri is a gas turbine engine...how will you operate it in space.

 

[S-DUCT]

Why don't they use Kaveri engine instead of CE-7.5, isn't Kaveri's thrust is more than 73KN..

It's because kaveri is gas-turbine engine,they are only used for industrial,marine,and plane propulsion application,moreover they require oxygen to operate so they can't be used in vac.
CE-7.5 and kaveri are both different engines.

^This kaveri engine.

this cryogenic engine and as you can see both are very-very-very different.

Is that a pressure gauge that I see in the picture of the cryogenic engine? Is it going to be sent on GSLV with that???

Best of Luck to all the scientists in ISRO

*fingers crossed*

one thing to seek divine intervention and another to believe in astrology.... do they also sacrifice a goat...

they don't believe in astrology dude, it's just peace of mind. I'm sure that many chiefs at Nasa go to church before a human flight.

Because there is no oxygen in outer space for the kerosene to burn

I'm getting a feeling you just answered a moron

 

[ptltejas]

All the best Scientists.

GSLV MK#3 fingers crossed best of luck

 

[kurup]

GSLV MK#3 fingers crossed best of luck

This test is of GSLV MKII with indigenous cryogenic engine not MKIII .

 

[DilHaiHindushtani]

Best of luck.............................. ISRO, we always proud of you...

 

[IND151]

T 16 days...................................

Good luck..failures lead to stronger sucesses as well!!
