A stage mounting adaptor (SMA) for the Indian Space Research Organization’s (ISRO) semi-cryogenic propulsion project has been successfully built by Coimbatore-based company Shri Venkateswara Hi-Tech Machineries Private Limited. At the ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC) in Mahendragiri, this SMA is an essential part that connects the rocket stage to the test stand framework. During ground testing, it is essential for moving the thrust produced by the rocket stage to the test bay.
The SMA weighs around 24 tons and has a diameter of six meters. Fabrication: It cost ₹2.50 crores and was expertly fabricated. As part of ISRO’s efforts to create a semi-cryogenic engine for the future, the SMA will be utilized in the Semi-Cryogenic Integrated Engine Stage Test Facility (SIET).
A 2000 kN thrust semi-cryogenic engine powered by a combination of kerosene and liquid oxygen (LOX) propellant is being developed by ISRO. Future launch vehicles like the Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3) will be able to carry more cargo thanks to its engine. By substituting more ecologically friendly liquid propulsion systems with conventional ones, the project seeks to lessen environmental pollution.
The business has a lengthy history of producing top-notch equipment and parts for a range of sectors, including ISRO, and is registered under ISO 9001:2008. They specialize in creating specialized solutions for the aerospace industry and other fields, as well as producing essential process equipment.
