Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre
- Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre
The Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC), located at Valiyamala, near Nedumangad in Thiruvananthapuram District, Kerala, India, is the research centre and rocket engine test facility under Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Engaged in development of liquid and cryogenic propulsion stages for launch vehicles and auxiliary propulsion systems for both launch vehicles and satellites. Activities related to liquid propulsion stages, cryogenic propulsion stages and control systems for launch vehicles and spacecraft is done at Thiruvananthapuram. Test facilities are located at Mahendragiri, near Nagercoil, in Tamil Nadu. Precision fabrication facilities, development of transducers and integration of satellite propulsion systems are carried out at Bangalore.
The development of liquid propellant stages for PSLV, control systems for SLV-3, ASLV, PSLV and GSLV, satellite propulsion systems including those for INSAT and IRS and production of pressure transducers are done by the LPSC for India. The LPSC has developed indigenous cryogenic upper stage for Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) which was successfully test fired by ISRO on August 4, 2007.
LPSC's current director is M.K.G. Nair.
