The Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC; (ヒンディー語:द्रव नोदन प्रणाली केंद्र)) is a research and development centre functioning under Indian Space Research Organisation.〔(LPSC Webpage )〕 It has two units located at Valiamala, in Thiruvananthapuram of Kerala, and Bengaluru of Karnataka. LPSC is augmented by ISRO Propulsion Complex at Mahendragiri of Tamil Nadu. LPSC is engaged in development of liquid and cryogenic propulsion stages for launch vehicles and auxiliary propulsion systems for both launch vehicles and satellites. Activities related to liquid propulsion stages, cryogenic propulsion stages and control systems for launch vehicles and spacecraft is done at Thiruvananthapuram. Precision fabrication facilities, development of transducers and integration of satellite propulsion systems are carried out at Bangalore. The developmental and flight tests along with assembly and integration are done at ISRO Propulsion Complex, Mahendragiri in Tamil Nadu. The development of liquid propellant stages for PSLV, control systems for SLV-3, ASLV, PSLV and GSLV, satellite propulsion systems including those for INSAT and IRS and production of pressure transducers are done by the LPSC for India. The LPSC has developed indigenous cryogenic upper stage for Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) which was successfully test fired by ISRO on August 4, 2007. LPSC's current director is Dr. K. Sivan. He took over from M.C.Dathan on July 2, 2014 after the latter was appointed as Director of VSSC. ==LPSC Valiamala== This unit serves as LPSC headquarters, and is involved in research and development of Earth-storable and cryogenic propulsion for launch vehicles. It delivers engines, stages, associated control systems and components for launch vehicle and spacecrafts. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Home-History Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=ISRO Centres-Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre )〕 The main activities carried out at Valiamala include:〔 *Research and Development in earth storable and cryogenic propulsion systems for Launch Vehicle and Spacecraft applications *System design and architecture *Management of system projects *Management of earth storable and cryogenic engine and stage systems *Integration of launch vehicle propulsion control system packages and modules *Low thrust thruster test facilities for satellite thrusters 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
