World's first single-piece 3D-printed semi-cryogenic rocket engine - Space Start Up Agnikul Cosmos Successful Completion


As the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) forays further into space with missions to the sun and the moon, with space telescopes, landers, and astronauts, the nation’s space sector is also expanding beyond ISRO. With the Centre allowing 100% foreign direct investment (FDI) in the space sector, the industry’s private players are eyeing a boost in funding from overseas companies and investors. 

Space sector globally is drawing interest from private investors, says IN-SPACe’s Pawan Goenka.

A gem 💎 ISRO's congratulating message:- 

Congratulations @AgnikulCosmos for the successful launch of the Agnibaan SoRTed-01 mission from their launch pad.

A major milestone, as the first-ever controlled flight of a semi-cryogenic liquid engine realized through additive manufacturing. 

Applauding the achievements of the AGNIKUL COSMOS start-up, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said "A remarkable feat making the whole nation proud! The successful launch of Agnibaan rocket powered by world’s first single-piece 3D printed semi-cryogenic engine is a momentous occasion for India’s space sector and a testament to the remarkable ingenuity of our Yuva Shakti. He extended his best wishes to the Agnikul Cosmos team for their future endeavours."


Detailings about the rockets :- Agniban ( SOrTED - Sub orbital Technology Demonstrator ) is extremely customisable, single stage launch vehicle which is capable of carrying upto 300kg payload to take orbits at a height of around 700 km ( Low Earth Orbit) and supports in conferring plug and play configurations, which is meaning that it can be expanded or shrinked depending on the satellites that would be taken to the space.
A major milestone, is that these rockets are first in history to have controlled flight of a semi-cryogenic liquid engine through the additive manufacturing, ISRO has stated so. The rocket are using a semi-cryogenic engine with a mix of liquid and gas propellants, a technology that is yet to be demonstrated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in any of its rockets.    


Success comes to them, who, never stop trying, this is AGNIKUL COSMOS start-ups' 5th attempt, before this 4 unsuccessful endeavours have been observed by this firm. The mission comprises enough of complexities and is second private entity to launch such prominent and complex mission, so high technicalities and with the aim, no scope of errors, consistency worked well and India can rejoice such momentous occasion in the field of space sector. The launch of the Agnibaan rocket, powered by the world's first single-piece 3D printed semi-cryogenic engine, marked a significant achievement for the private players to enter in space sector. 

 Efforts behind the history embarking  :- 
The launch vehicle, developed by the IIT Madras-incubated startup, the project is demonstrated as India’s first semi-cryogenic engine. The engine—called Agnilet—uses sub-cooled oxygen as fuel. Cryogenic engines, such as the one used in the upper stages of India’s heaviest launch vehicle, LVM3, use gases liquified at extremely low temperatures as fuel. This is the culmination of 1000s of hours of reviews and hard work by the team. Working in the guidance and  the full support of IN-SPACe and ISRO to design and build original space worthy hardware in India. Srinath Ravichandran, co-founder and CEO of Agnikul Cosmos has been added a golden chapter in the flourishing book of space sector.

Exams Leaks - How to reinstate credence among the students towards our Education System

विद्या ददाति विनयं, विनयाद्याति पात्रताम्‌।  पात्रत्वाद्धानमाप्नोति धानाद्धर्मं ततः सुखम्‌॥ No nation is perfect yet it's always on the path of perfection. The cradles that turns out to be the ladder for the upliftment of any country are usually embarked as learning knowledge basically the education system. None can bring much progressive development but it's the books that branches the development tree of a person to much longer and stronger extent. Allowing books' entry to our lives can bring millions of positive changes. Youth are the future of our country and making them understand the significance of knowledge, education, books is most crucial. And every motivations or beliefs are stitched to the outcomes, what if efforts are the best but result paths are blocked with the giant stumbles, that are intentionally located over there. Similar circumstance are cultivating in current span, Within a period of 1 month, three ellite exams has been observed with some illegal and

World Environment Day 2024: Accelerating land restoration, drought resilience & desertification progress.

World Environment Day , marked on 5 June  every year. The day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972. Over the past five decades, the Day has elevated  to be one of the biggest  global platforms for environmental outreach.  It’s commendable to recognize the significance of nature annually, yet the alarming situation forces everyone to acknowledge and accept the degradation challenge and attempts in the bestest way to make our environment healthier and happier everyday.

Innovations towards making Solar Power Energy more greener and sustainable

अयं निजः परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्। उदारचरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्॥ This is mine, that is his, say the small minded, The wise believe that the entire world is a family. Sun, is a massive source of energy, nutrients, power, inspiration and offcourse the biggest star of our own Milky way galaxy. Since ages, we bharatiya, worship sun because of knowing the fact that ultimate source of energy is Sun solely and when mankind realised that fossil fuels are depleting and are wanton for the nature then scientists discovered the clean and green source of energy. Subhendu Guha , a noted scientist for his pioneering work in amorphous silicon, led the invention of flexible solar shingles, a roofing material and state-of-the-art technology for converting sunlight to electricity in India.  India's solar power installed capacity was 81.813 GW AC  as of 31 March 2024 . India is the third largest producer of solar power globally . During 2010–19, the foreign capital invested in India on Solar powe
