Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) is the research centre under Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Engaged in development of liquid and cryogenic propulsion stages for launch vehicles and auxiliary propulsion systems for both launch vehicles and satellites . Activities related to liquid propulsion stages, cryogenic propulsion stages and control systems for launch vehicles and spacecraft is done at Thiruvananthapuram. Test facilities are located at Mahendragiri in Tamil Nadu. Precision fabrication facilities, development of transducers and integration of satellite propulsion systems are carried out at Bangalore.
The development of liquid propellant stages for PSLV, control systems for SLV-3, ASLV, PSLV and GSLV, satellite propulsion systems including those for INSAT and IRS and production of pressure transducers are done by the LPSC for India. The LPSC has developed indigenous cryogenic upper stage for Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (GSLV-III) which was successfully test fired by ISRO on November 5, 2006.
The Director of LPSC is R.V. Perumal
