Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC)
Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) is the centre of excellence in the area of Liquid Propulsion for ISRO's Launch Vehicle and Spacecraft programmes. The activities are spread across Valiamala / Thiruvananthapuram, Mahendragiri and Bangalore.
LPSC Valiamala is the Headquarters and the centre is
entrusted with the responsibility of research and development of Earth
Storable and Cryogenic propulsion and delivers Engines, stages,
associated control systems and components for Launch Vehicle and
Spacecrafts.
Major Achievements include:
1. Liquid Rocket Stages and Control Power Plant for PSLV
2. Liquid stage for GSLV
3. Propulsion system for GEOSAT and IRS spacecrafts
4. Propulsion system for SPE
5. Transducer development and production
6. LPSC delivered administration package of COWAA software
,which is currently being used across all ISRO centres
7. Major Projects under development are Cryogenic Upper Stage
for GSLV-Mk II , Liquid rocket core stage & Cryogenic Upper Stage
for GSLV-M3 vehicle and Semi-cryogenic development

LPSC Bangalore is responsible for Satellite Propulsion
Systems Integration for GEOSAT and IRS programmes. The centre is also
responsible for design and development of monopropellant propulsion
system, System engineering, Transducer and Spacecraft propellant tanks.
The centre is involved in R&D and TDP activities towards development of
electric propulsion system, propellant gauging system for spacecraft,
advanced transducers etc.
Major Achievements include:
1. Integration of propulsion systems for INSAT, GSAT, IRS class
of satellites
2. Providing propellant servicing for launch and support for in
orbit operation of the propulsion systems
3. Transducers development and production undertaken caters to
launch vehicle, satellite propulsion system and facility
requirements.
4. Monopropellant thruster developed and realised are used in
IRS class of satellites.
