  hello, today we will read about Third Successful Vikas Engine Long Duration Hot Test so why do we need a long-duration hot test of the liquid propellant Vikas Engine let's talk about it. we all know that isro is working on a project called gaganyan project if you dont know about it then i have an artical on it. for isro core L110 liquid stage of the human rated GSLV MkIII .The engine was fired for a duration of 240 seconds at the engine test facility of ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC), Mahendragiri in Tamil Nadu.

  Gaganyaan is the first project taken up by HSFC for demonstrating human spaceflight capabilities. It is the maiden manned mission of ISRO which involves development of a host of new technologies and activities that need to be taken up concurrently across all ISRO Centres within the stipulated schedule. The objective of Gaganyaan is to carry a crew of three to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), perform a set of predefined activities in space, and return them safely to a predefined destination on earth. New systems are required to undertake human spaceflight namely Human rated launch vehicle, Crew Module (CM) system, Service Module (SM) system, Crew Escape System (CES) and Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS). The crew selection and training, development of human-centric products, human rating certification system, dealing with man-machine interfaces are other domains of manned space flight that is addressing concurrently. The human rating of GSLV MKIII has already been initia...
