Six global space agencies have independently achieved a significant milestone in space technology by developing their own cryogenic rocket engines.
Cryogenic rocket engines use super-cooled, or ‘cryogenic’, liquids as fuel. This technology provides high efficiency and thrust, making it crucial for space exploration.
ISRO’s Innovation
India’s Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has independently developed cryogenic rocket engines.
NASA’s Mastery
The United States’ National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) boasts its own cryogenic rocket engines.
ESA’s Excellence
The European Space Agency (ESA), representing France, has successfully developed cryogenic rocket engines.
Roscosmos’ Resilience
Russia’s Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities has its own cryogenic rocket engines, reflecting its robust space technology.
CNSA’s Progress
China’s China National Space Administration (CNSA) has made significant strides with the development of its own cryogenic rocket engines.
JAXA’s Journey
Japan’s Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has independently developed cryogenic rocket engines, demonstrating its commitment to space exploration.
