The boost opens up new possibilities for India's space missions
The new boost increases the CE20's payload capability, opening doors for bigger and bolder space projects.
This same engine powered Chandrayaan-3 and is set for Gaganyaan, so it's already proven itself reliable.
Plus, the recent test used a smart nozzle protection system that'll help cut costs in the long run.
Weighing 587kg and cooled by its own fuel, the CE20 has aced long-duration tests—including one that ran over 12 minutes straight.
With these upgrades, ISRO keeps pushing boundaries in rocket tech, making space dreams a bit more real for everyone watching from home.
