Chennai, Jan 22 (Reporter) The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)
on Wednesday announced that the Liquid Propulsion Systems (LPS) was
integrated on Crew Module for the first uncrewed Gaganyaan mission (G1).
In a update, the Space Agency said the LPS was integrated yesterday.
It said the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) of ISRO dispatched
the Crew Module for the first uncrewed mission of Gaganyaan (G1), after
successfully completing the integration of the liquid propulsion system.
The Crew Module Propulsion System (CMPS) is a bi-propellant based
Reaction Control System (RCS) and is meant for precise 3 axis control
(Pitch, Yaw and Roll) of crew module.
The control will be initiated following separation of service module during
the descent and re-entry phase until the deployment of parachute-based
deceleration system.
This system employs 12 Nos. of 100N thrusters, pressurisation system
with high pressure gas bottles and the propellant feed system along with
the associated fluid control components.
The Crew Module Uprighting System (CMUS) designed by the Vikram
Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), Thiruvananthapuram, was also integrated
to the module at LPSC.
Subsequently, the Crew Module will undergo further integration operations
including avionics package assembly, electrical harnessing and checks at
the VSSC before dispatching to U R Rao Satellite Centre, Bangalore for
the final phase of integration of the Orbital Module.
The first uncrewed Gaganyaan Mission is likely to take place in the next 1-2
months after all necessary tests were carried out...////...
