ISRO successfully conducted a rocket test using cryogenic engines in the year 2007. Where is the test stand used for the purpose, located?
✓ Correct answer: c) Mahendragiri
ExplanationISRO successfully conducted a rocket test using cryogenic engines at the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) located in Mahendragiri in Tamil Nadu.ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC) is equipped with the state-of-the- art facilities necessary for realising the cutting edge propulsion technology products for the Indian space programme.Formerly, IPRC was known as LPSC, Mahendragiri.The IPRC is responsible for developing cryogenic propulsion systems essential for high- performance launch vehicles.A cryogenic engine uses supercooled liquids, typically liquid oxygen (LOX) and liquid hydrogen (LH2) as propellants.These engines are highly efficient because cryogenic fuels have a higher specific impulse, meaning they provide greater thrust for a given mass of fuel.129
