ISRO’s November 10 test report records a 200-second flight acceptance firing of the cryogenic engine intended for GSLV-F19, the mission assigned to launch the NVS-04 navigation satellite. The test took place on November 5 at ISRO Propulsion Complex in Mahendragiri.
The space agency said the main engine and gas generator ignited as expected. It described steady-state performance as normal and consistent with its predictions, and assessed the test performance as satisfactory.
ISRO identifies induction of the engine into the rocket’s cryogenic stage as the next step. The notice does not give a launch date or record completion of the stage’s integration; the reported result concerns the engine acceptance test.
