CE-7.5

The CE-7.5 is a cryogenic rocket engine developed by Indian Space Research Organisation .The engine was developed as a part of the Cryogenic Upper Stage Project (CUSP) . It replaced the Russian  KVD-1  cryogenic engine which  powered the upper stage stage of gslv mk.1 .


The ce-7.5 cryogenic engine uses
staged combustion cycle to achieve high thrust . It has a nominal  thrust of of 75 kn but it can be varied between  73.55 to 82 kn depending on requirement .

  • Operating Cycle – Staged combustion
  • Propellant Combination – LOX / LH2
  • Maximum thrust (Vacuum) – 75 kN
  • Operating Thrust Range (as demonstrated during GSLV Mk2 D5 flight) – 73.55 kN to 82 kN 
  • Chamber Pressure (Nom) – 58 bar
  • Engine Mixture ratio (Oxidizer/Fuel by mass) – 5.05
  • Engine Specific Impulse - 454 ± 3 seconds (4.452 ± 0.029 km/s)
  • Engine Burn Duration (Nom) – 720 seconds
  • Propellant Mass – 12500 kg
