World’s largest 10-tonne propellant mixer for rocket motors unveiled by India

World’s largest 10-tonne propellant mixer for rocket motors unveiled by India.
The world’s largest 10-tonne propellant mixer for solid rocket motors has been developed by India in a major technological breakthrough.
ISRO’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre, in collaboration with the Central Manufacturing Technology Institute in Bengaluru, designed the mixer.
The mixer weighs 150 tonnes and measures 8.7 metres in height, 5.4 metres in length and 3.3 metres in width.
This ensures the precise and safe mixing of the solid propellant ingredients needed for a rocket launch.
ISRO described it as a symbol of India’s growing self-reliance in space technology under the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat in Space’ initiative.
The advanced system promises improved productivity, quality, and safety in solid motor production.
The mixer, equipped with remote-controlled operations, was handed over to ISRO last week, marking another milestone in India’s space journey.
