The Indian Space Research Organisation on Tuesday successfully test-fired the indigenous cryogenic engine CE-20 for 645 seconds. This significant development can push India into a bigger league of nations launching satellites weighing up to five tonnes.

The event also marks a landmark in India’s effort to develop a big cryogenic engine that can put GSLV Mark-III into geostationary orbit by the end of 2016.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated ISRO on this occasion.
