In Tamil Nadu Saturday, India successfully test-fired a cryogenic engine to be used for a space launch vehicle, according to Agence France-Presse.  The domestically developed engine will probably require more testing before India can consider it ready for use, officials said.  Indian scientists aborted an earlier test in February 2000 due to technical problems.

The United States, Russia, France, China and Japan have similar cryogenic capabilities (Agence France-Presse/Dawn, Feb. 10).
