Congratulations to Srinath Ravichandran,Moin SPM and the amazing Agnikul team. Proud of this achievement for many reasons from Rocketship.vc being an investor to the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras connections to being an Indian space buff!
Humbled to announce the successful completion of our first flight - Mission 01 of Agnibaan SOrTeD - from our own and India’s first & only private Launchpad within SDSC-SHAR at Sriharikota. All the mission objectives of this controlled vertical ascent flight were met and performance was nominal. The vehicle was completely designed in-house and was powered by the world’s first single piece 3d printed engine and also happens to be India’s first flight with a semi cryo engine. Our greatest thanks to IN-SPACe, ISRO, IIT Madras & our incredibly committed team in helping us prove that a private player can design and fly original space tech hardware in India.
