      Green Propulsion for India’s Human Space Mission ‘Gaganyaan’

      Context:

      India’s human space mission Gaganyaan is likely to use a green propellant to avoid all toxic and hazardous materials as a propellant.

      What is Green Propulsion?

      • Green Propulsion is a green alternative for the conventional chemical propulsion systems for future spacecraft.
      • This is called a “green” fuel because when combusted it transforms into nontoxic gasses.
      • Example: Hydroxylammonium nitrate (NH3OHNO3) fuel/oxidizer blend which is also known as AF-M315E is one example of green propellant.

      Significance

      • Efficient: The green propulsion system seeks to improve overall propellant efficiency.
      • It delivers a higher specific thrust delivered to per given quantity of fuel.
      • It strives to optimize the performance of the hardware, systems, and power solutions.
      • This is easier and safer for storage and handling.
      • Less toxic: It will reduce the handling concerns which are associated with the toxic fuel hydrazine.
      • Lower cost: It requires a potentially shorter launch processing period and results in lowering costs.

      Gaganyaan

      • This is an Indian crewed orbital spacecraft for the formative spacecraft of the Indian Human Spaceflight Programme under ISRO.
        • The spacecraft is designed to carry three people.
        • The mission will have two unmanned flights and one human spaceflight.
      • It will encircle Earth in a low-earth-orbit with an altitude of 300-400 km from earth.
      • GSLV Mk III (LVM-3 (Launch Vehicle Mark-3)) the three-stage heavy-lift launch vehicle, will be used for the launch of Gaganyaan.
