The SE-2000 (formerly known as SCE-200, also referred as Semi-Cryogenic Engine-2000) is a 2 MN thrust class liquid rocket engine, being developed to power ISRO's existing LVM3 and upcoming heavy and super heavy-lift launch vehicles. It is being developed by the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) of ISRO, and is expected to have first flight in 2020s.
Burning liquid oxygen (LOX) and RP-1 kerosene in an oxidizer-rich staged combustion cycle, the engine will boost payload capacity of LVM3 replacing current L110 stage powered by 2 Vikas engines. It is also expected to power ISRO's future reusable rockets based on RLV technology demonstrations.
