Abstract - Cryogenics is the study of very low temperatures or the production of the same. Liquefied gases like liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen are used in many cryogenic applications. The paper is all about Cryogenic Technology used in rocket’s engine for all its space missions & it's applications. The USA invented the cryogenic engine, which has a long history involving many powerful countries, such as Russia, Japan, France, and others. One of the key components in NASA’s success in using the Saturn V rocket to travel to the Moon was the use of these extremely effective cryogenic engines, which first flew on the US Atlas-Centaur. A cryogenic engine contains fuel gases in cryogenic state (at very low temperature, around -150 degree). This allows concentration of high energy density in small volume. Cryogenic engine provides high energy per unit volume of fuel, which is necessary for the quick thrust in a rocket. Indian space research organization (ISRO) proved that it has mastered the launch of light and medium weight satellites (up to 2000 kg) using Polar satellite launching vehicle (PSLV) with high success rate. But for the launch of heavier satellites (i.e., GSAT series), India had to use expensive service provided by the French space agency. In this project we are going to test and analyze the performance of the valves which were being used in the cryogenic engine under different conditions. This can be performed with the help of ANSYS software which can give the detailed result of the performance of the different valves. In this project different types of valves are used to find out the best performing valve under various conditions.
