Agnikul Cosmos, a Chennai-based start-up, achieved a remarkable feat by successfully test-firing its rocket, Agnibaan SOrTeD.
This suborbital tech demonstrator, powered by a semi-cryogenic engine, marks a significant milestone in India's private space sector. Despite facing technical hurdles in previous attempts, the team demonstrated resilience and innovation.
The rocket's launch from Sriharikota signifies India's emergence as a key player in commercial space ventures. With ISRO's support and their pioneering 3D-printed engine technology, Agnikul aims to revolutionize satellite launches. This success underscores India's potential as a hub for small satellite deployment and space innovation.
