Isro develops light-weight, innovative nozzle for rocket engines, terms it 'breakthrough'

India's space agency, ISRO, has achieved a breakthrough in rocket engine technology by developing a lightweight Carbon-Carbon (C-C) nozzle. This innovation, achieved by the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, is expected to enhance rocket engine parameters such as thrust levels, specific impulse, and thrust-to-weight ratios. By utilizing advanced materials and processes, including Carbon-Carbon composites and an anti-oxidation coating, the C-C nozzle offers exceptional properties and high resistance to corrosion. This development is significant for the ISRO's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and is projected to increase its payload capability by 15 kg. Successful testing confirmed the nozzle's performance and hardware integrity.
