A 3D-printed engine by an Indian startup takes rocket four miles into the sky | It's the world's first rocket engine to be 3D-printed in a single piece
Chennai-based startup Agnikul Cosmos successfully conducted a sub-orbital test launch of its unique 3D-printed semi-cryogenic rocket called Agnibaan. The launch took place on May 30 from the...
Agnikul fabricated this engine using an advanced 3D metal printer in just 72 hours, showcasing how additive manufacturing could enable on-demand launch capabilities for small satellite operators in the future. The simpler procedure and quick production could potentially enable low-cost, responsive launch services compared to the long wait times for rideshare opportunities on larger rockets. Agnikul nailed the performance target of 6 kilonewtons of thrust and even tested advanced capabilities like real-time trajectory adjustments to counter windage effects.
