ISRO Successfully Test-Fires Cryogenic Engine for Upcoming GSLV-F19 NavIC Mission
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully conducted a 200-second flight acceptance test of the cryogenic engine for its upcoming GSLV-F19 mission, which will launch the NVS-04 navigation satellite as part of the NavIC system. The engine's main components performed as expected, meeting pre-test predictions. This milestone allows integration of the engine into the GSLV-F19 vehicle. The launch date is yet to be announced, following the recent successful deployment of the NVS-03 satellite in October 2026.
