New Delhi

Godrej’s aerospace enterprise on Thursday introduced that it has delivered the primary human-rated L110 stage Vikas engine to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for the Gaganyaan venture.

The first uncrewed take a look at flight underneath the Gaganyaan venture is deliberate for early subsequent yr and ISRO plans to ship first Indian astronauts on a home-built rocket to orbit the Earth in 2027.

“This achievement reaffirms our long-standing partnership with ISRO and Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC), and showcases our capability to deliver mission-critical technology that strengthens India’s leadership in space exploration,” Maneck Behramkamdin, Executive Vice President and Business Head, Godrej Enterprises Group’s Aerospace enterprise, mentioned in an announcement.

Godrej has been contributing to India’s house programme for greater than 4 many years by supplying high-precision engines and parts for landmark missions, together with Chandrayaan and NISAR.

The Gaganyaan mission will use the human-rated LVM-3 to take the crew module carrying Indian astronauts to orbit across the Earth and produce them again safely.

“This is not just a milestone for Godrej Enterprises Group, but also a matter of immense national pride. Contributing to India’s first human spaceflight programme is both an honour and a responsibility that we carry with the highest commitment.”
