Facility scheduler5/16/2023 Students have almost zero industry experience, and their knowledge is limited to the books they have studied. There are little to no internships, industry visits, etc. Apart from the Tier 1 engineering colleges, most of Tier 2 and 3 engineering are heavy on academics but give very little significance to practical learning or hands-on training. In fact, they have lots of theoretical knowledge with zero practical experience. The test bed should be designed to withstand the structural stresses generated by the engine during static tests, while the supply line system should provide the mass flow required by the engine to deliver the design thrust (maximum thrust of 50kN).Įven though we have multiple testing facilities for testing rocket engines in India which own and operated by private space tech companies apart from the ISRO and SHAR, lakhs of interested engineering student coming out from the 1070 Indian Universities’ every year, are not in a position to afford to built their own testing beds to test their innovative hybrid rockets or traditional rocket engines. Every year a huge number of graduates from more than 10000 engineering colleges in India are just pen and paper engineers. The qualification process starts with ground tests and ends in vacuum chambers. A ground test program is generally required before the engine is certified for flight. The development of innovative propulsion systems requires testing in suitable facilities that reveal the efficacy of design models and allow for design refinement. Here the rocket engines are tested on the ground, under controlled conditions. In respect of India, Sea- level and High-Altitude Test Facilities are at Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SHAR), Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, India and another one is at Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Propulsion Complex – Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu, India. Globally we have (30+) Rocket Testing facilities out of which we have (2) in India and (6) out-side of USA.
