Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
ISRO calls the CE20 an upper stage engine, and after the test it is assembled into the C32 flight stage.
Future LVM3 missions plan to run the C32 stage with the CE20 uprated to 22 tonnes of thrust, which is why this test was run at 22t.
The same test also demonstrated a LOX tank pressurisation module meant for the C32 stages of Gaganyaan.
