The remaining four motors are in various stages of manufacturing and are expected to be tested in 2021.<\/li><li>Kalam-5 is a demonstrator solid rocket propulsion stage with exactly same propellant, materials and interfaces as the three solid propulsion stages of Vikram-1 launch vehicle.<\/li><li>It gives a peak Sea Level thrust of 5.3kN and is designed to take 66 atmospheres and 30000C of combustion pressure and temperature respectively. This is also 1:4 scale in size of Vikram-1 third stage.<\/li><li>Solid motors are high-thrust, low-cost rocket engines with propellant in solid form.
