Successful launch of Agnibaan SoRTed-01 mission!!!

India has set a new record. In this sequence, the successful launch of Agnibaan SoRTed-01 mission was done with the world's first single piece 3D printed engine. Recently, the world's first indigenously designed and developed rocket with a single-piece 3D printed engine was tested from Sriharikota by Agnikul cosmos, a startup run by IIT Madras. Agnibaan - SOrTeD i.e. Sub-Orbital technology Demonstrator was launched from Dhanush, India's first private launchpad established by the startup. This was also India's first semi-cryogenic engine powered test rocket launch. This will prove to be a major milestone in a way. The first flight was conducted from India's first and only private launchpad within SDSC-SHAR at Sriharikota. It was completely designed in-house and was powered by the world's first single piece 3D printed engine. This is also India’s first flight with a semi-cryo engine.

After the successful launch of Agnibaan with a 3D printed engine, PM narendra modi also praised and said that this is an achievement which will make the whole country proud. The successful launch of Agnibaan rocket powered by the world's first single-piece 3D printed semi-cryogenic engine is an important occasion for India's space sector.

India became the first country in the world

Successful launch of Agnibaan SoRTed-01 mission with a single piece 3D printed engine The main objective of the first flight of Mission Agnikul cosmos is to collect many important flights, many data and ensure better functioning of the system for the startup's orbital launch vehicle, Agnibaan. India's first semi-cryogenic engine has been used in this mission Agnibaan. This uses a mixture of liquid and gas for fuel. Liquid fuels can be reused and they are safer than solid fuels. Semi-cryogenic engines help increase payload capacity, reduce launch costs and improve the overall reliability and performance of launch vehicles. The indian space research organisation (ISRO) is still developing a semi-cryogenic engine called the SCE-200 for its GSLV Mk III rocket. The successful launch of Agnibaan SORTED is a significant moment for the private sector, which is contributing to India's growing space sector with cutting-edge technology like the world's first 3D printed semi-cryogenic engine.
