The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is establishing new dimensions day by day. Now ISRO has achieved another success. He designed lightweight nozzles for rocket engines. The space agency said it achieved a major breakthrough in rocket engine technology with the development of lightweight carbon-carbon (Si-Si) nozzles for rocket engines, which increased payload capacity.
The cargo capacity of the launch vehicles can be increased
ISRO said the rocket, developed by the space agency’s Vikram Sarabhai Space Center (VSSC), claims to improve critical engine parameters. This will increase the payload capacity of the launch vehicles. Thiruvananthapuram-based VSSC is also said to have developed the nozzle by utilizing advanced materials such as carbon-carbon (Si-Si) composites.
This is how the nozzle was prepared
By using processes such as carbonization and high temperature treatment of green composite materials, he designed a nozzle with low density, high specific strength and excellent stiffness, which is able to maintain mechanical properties even at high temperatures.
