ISRO achieved a significant milestone today with the successful ground testing of its new liquid oxygen-methane powered engine at the Mahendragiri facility. This “Green Propulsion” system is designed to power the next generation of reusable launch vehicles (RLVs) and deep-space missions. Scientists confirmed that the new fuel combination is not only more environmentally friendly than traditional hydrazines but also significantly more efficient for long-duration missions, potentially reducing the cost of commercial satellite launches by 15%.
