The Indian space agency did not carry out a much-awaited full duration test of the indigenous cryogenic rocket engine. The test by the Indian Space Research Organisation was put off after an anomaly was noticed during the preparation stage, its Chairman G Madhavan Nair told PTI.

"We have not proceeded with the test," Nair said from the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) at Mahendragiri near Nagercoil in Tamil Nadu, where ISRO planned to fire the home-made cryogenic engine for 720 seconds.

"We noticed some anomaly...deviation electronically," he said. "We will reschedule the test in a couple of weeks."

ISRO sources said the test was initially slated for 4 pm today but was postponed for around 6.20 pm. A successful test would have put India in a select group of nations to have such a complex technology.

Thiruvananthapuram, India (PTI) Jan 19, 2007
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), is set to achieve another major milestone tomorrow with the full duration test of the indigenous "cryogenic stage" rocket engine for its Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). The indigenous cryogenic stage would fire for 720 seconds at the Liquid Propulsions Systems Centre (LPSC) at Mahendragiri near Nagercoil tomorrow, marking a big leap from the 50-second successful test conducted on October 28 last year.
