In the context of ISRO's Gaganyaan mission, what is the primary purpose of the recently tested cryogenic engine?
A To provide thrust for the initial ascent phase of the launch vehicle.
B To generate power for the spacecraft's onboard systems during the mission.
C To enable the crew to perform extravehicular activities (EVAs).
D To provide high thrust and efficiency for the upper stages of the launch vehicle, crucial for orbital maneuvers and deep space missions.
Answer: D
Cryogenic engines are known for their high efficiency and thrust, making them ideal for the upper stages of rockets, especially for missions requiring significant velocity changes like orbital insertion or interplanetary travel. ISRO's CE-20 engine, tested for Gaganyaan, is designed for this purpose.
