<p>According to a release by ISRO, the testing of the liquid core stage took place for a flight duration of 200 seconds and tested nearly 500 health parameters. The initial data obtained after the test has revealed that the performance was normal and is expected to be a significant step in the development of GSLV-Mk III launch vehicle. <br /><br />Major milestone<br /><br />ISRO has called the test “a major milestone in the earth storable liquid rocket programme.”<br /> GSLV-Mk III, which is currently under advanced stage of development, uses two solid strap-on boosters (S200), L110 liquid stage and a cryogenic upper stage C-25. <br /><br />L110 is one of the heaviest earth storable liquid stages ever developed by ISRO. L110 stage had two high pressure Vikas engines in a clustered configuration. All the tests are being conducted at the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) test facility at Mahendragiri.</p>
