The Indian space agency ISRO has completed tests of an upgraded stage for a small launch vehicle. ISRO said Tuesday it performed a static-fire test of a new third stage for the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV), qualifying it for flight. The solid-fuel stage will increase the payload performance of the SSLV, currently about 500 kilograms, by 90 kilograms thanks to decreased weight of the stage’s motor case.
