Key points shared by Shri Anil Prakash:

ISRO has successfully tested the CE20 cryogenic engine, marking a significant breakthrough in propulsion technology, crucial for India’s Gaganyaan mission—the country’s first manned spaceflight. Conducted on November 29 at the ISRO Propulsion Complex in Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu, the test showcased the engine’s restart capabilities, an essential step for future manned missions.

Developed indigenously by ISRO’s Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre, the CE20 engine operates at a thrust of 19 tonnes and has powered six LVM3 missions. Upgraded to 20 tonnes, it is capable of reaching 22 tonnes thrust for the C32 stage in future missions, further enhancing the payload capacity of the LVM3 launch vehicle. This test strengthens India's position in the global space arena and paves the way for advanced space explorations.

Congratulations to ISRO for the successful launch of the PSLV-C59/PROBA-3 Mission, deploying the European Space Agency's satellites into precise orbit. The mission aims to demonstrate precise formation flying with two spacecraft, Coronagraph and Occulter, launched in a stacked configuration. This groundbreaking probe, comprising two satellites flying in millimeter-precision formation, will study the Sun's corona, advancing solar research and showcasing India's prowess in executing complex space missions with unparalleled accuracy.
