The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully conducted the first Pre-Burner Ignition trial of its SCE-200 semi-cryogenic engine at its propulsion research complex (IPRC) in Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu.

– ISRO is developing the SCE-200 semi-cryogenic engine.
– The Pre-Burner Ignition trial is a key step in engine development.

The SCE-200 engine is designed to power the future heavy-lift launch vehicles of ISRO. Semi-cryogenic engines use Liquid Oxygen (LOX) and ISRO’s indigenous RP-1 (a refined form of kerosene) as propellants, offering a higher thrust capacity compared to fully cryogenic engines. The Pre-Burner Ignition is a critical process where a small amount of propellants is ignited to generate hot gases that drive the turbo-pump, which then supplies main propellants to the combustion chamber.
