Gaganyaan: Key service module propulsion system test completed
Thursday, 20 July 2023
"This test involved five liquid apogee motor (LAM) engines with a thrust of 440 N (Newton) and 16 reaction control system (RCS) Thrusters with a thrust of 100 N. The service module (SM) is a regulated bi-propellant based propulsion system that caters to the requirements of the orbital module, performing orbit injection, circularisation, on-orbit control, de-boost manoeuvring and SM based abort (if any) during the ascent phase," Isro said.
