Which of the following statements is/are correct regarding ISRO's Semicryogenic Engine (SCE-200)?
1. It uses liquid hydrogen as fuel and liquid oxygen as the oxidizer.
2. It is designed to replace the core liquid stage of the Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3) to enhance its payload capacity.

Question

Accepted Answer

2 only — Statement 1 is incorrect because the semi-cryogenic engine uses Isrosene (refined kerosene) as fuel, not liquid hydrogen (which is used in fully cryogenic engines). Statement 2 is correct as the SCE-200 will replace the L110 core liquid stage of the LVM3 rocket.
