Agnikul Cosmos tests Agnite semi-cryogenic engine for Agnibaan

Indian space startup Agnikul Cosmos successfully tested its Agnite semi-cryogenic engine, which will power the Agnibaan rocket for Mission-02. The fully 3D-printed single-piece engine uses electric pumps instead of turbomachinery. Tests included endurance and control checks, with Mach diamonds visible in exhaust. The milestone brings Agnikul closer to launching small satellites into orbit.
