Semi-Cryogenic Engine (SCE)-200 : ISRO

ISRO recently achieved a milestone by conducting the first PreBurner Ignition trial for the Semi-Cryogenic Engine (SCE)-200.

  • This ignition process is crucial in developing liquid rocket engine systems.
  • The SCE uses liquid oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer and refined kerosene as fuel, aiming to produce a thrust of 2,000 kilonewtons (kN).
  • ISRO’s Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre in Bengaluru leads the SCE development, aiming to enhance the payload capacity of Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3) and future launch vehicles.
  • Unlike traditional cryogenic engines, SCEs offer advantages such as easier storage and handling, increased thrust capacity, and eco-friendliness, making them more cost-effective.
