India has become the fourth country to successfully conduct flight testing of Scramjet Engine. Indian Space Research Organisation ISRO is moving ahead consistently in its innovative and dedicated missions in the field of space technology. Today ISRO once again proved that India is moving ahead for technology advancement in a rapid speed by successfully testing the Scramjet Engine.

The feat achieved by ISRO team will be able to make satellite launches cheaper. The Scramjet Engine uses atmosphere's Oxygen as the oxidiser and uses Hydrogen as its fuel.

Earlier launch rockets need to carry oxygen for ignition purpose. Thus, by the use of the Scramjet Engine there will be no need to carry the oxygen and also atmosphere's oxygen will be used. Less weight minus oxygen will make the launch cheaper.
