Indian Space Research Organization on Sunday morning tested a new rocket engine which takes in oxygen from the atmosphere as its fuel. This reduces the overall weight of the rocket and increases efficiency.
Called a Super Sonic Combustion RAM Jet or Scramjet, the engine was tested from Sriharikota, off the coast of Andhra Pradesh, using a sounding rocket at 6 am.
With this, India became the fourth country to demonstrate the flight testing of a scramjet engines. This mission is a milestone for ISRO’s future space transportation system.
The scientists said that all the important flight events such as the burn out of booster rocket stage and functioning of scramjet engines for 5 seconds followed by burn out of the second stage took place exactly as planned.
