In 1974, Societe Europeenne de Propulsion agreed to transfer Viking engine technology in return for 100 man-years of engineering work from ISRO. The first engine built from the acquired technology was tested successfully in 1985 by Nambi Narayanan and his team at ISRO and named it Vikas.
The earliest versions, developed in 1965, had a sea-level thrust of about 190 kN. By 1971, the thrust had improved to 540 kN, with resulting engine named Viking 1 and adopted for the Ariane program. The engine first flown on the Ariane 1 rocket in 1979 was Viking 2, with thrust further improved to 611 kN.
ISRO's Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) was set up in 1985 and started working on a more powerful engine, Vikas, based upon the French Viking. [26] Two years later, facilities to test liquid-fuelled rocket engines were established and development and testing of various rocket engines thrusters began.
The 138 tonne solid rocket motor is augmented by 4 liquid strap-ons which is lowered by a Vikas rocket engine. GSLV-F15 payload fairing is a metallic version with a diameter of 3.4 meters. GSLV-F15 payload fairing is a metallic version with a diameter of 3.4 meters.

Nambi Narayanan (born 12 December 1941) [4] is an Indian aerospace scientist who worked for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). As a senior official at the ISRO, he was briefly in charge of the cryogenics division. [5] He was awarded the Padma Bhushan, India's third-highest civilian award, in March 2019. [6]
The SCE-200 (also referred as Semi-Cryogenic Engine-200) is a 2 MN thrust class liquid rocket engine, being developed to power Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) existing LVM3 and upcoming heavy and super heavy-lift launch vehicles.
