#history The battle in which Cholas ravaged a Chera town in Kanniyakumari. The discovery of a Chola period epigraphy a near Chengam proves without doubt that Salai was an army training centre run by the Cheras. Udagai is the present day Udayagiri, where stands a huge fort constructed in the 18th Century by Eustachius de Lannoy, a Portuguese soldier, who later became the chieftain of the Travancore army after his defeat in the battle of Colachel. Kalingathu Parani (a literary work) also makes a reference to Raja Raja’s role in the war and how he returned to his country with a lot of elephants from Udagai. Pazhuvettaraiyars were advisers of the Chola Kings.

#technology CE-20: Developed by the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC), a subsidiary of ISRO. The cryogenic stage is technically a very complex system due to its use of propellants at extremely low temperatures and the associated thermal and structural problems.
It uses liquid fuels (Oxygen liquifies at -183 deg C and Hydrogen at -253 deg C) that are cooled to very low temperatures. A Cryogenic rocket stage is more efficient and provides more thrust for every kilogram of propellant it burns compared to solid and earth-storable liquid propellant rocket stages.
