short by Vaishnavi Mishra / on Tuesday, 4 August, 2026
Bengaluru-based startup Astrobase Space will unveil India's first fully integrated 80-tonne-class Full-Flow Staged Combustion (FFSC) rocket engine on August 7. In the FFSC cycle, all fuel and oxidizer pass through separate preburners before entering the main combustion chamber. This boosts efficiency, increases thrust, reduces engine wear, and makes the engine suitable for reusable rockets.
