Eventhough this technology was existing since 1960 in the hands of Soviets only Space X managed to make them operational with raptor engine. Very optimistic with this design to be made commercially operational.

Astrobase Space, EVEREST is India's first fully integrated 80-tonne-class (800 kN) liquid oxygen and liquid methane (methalox) Full-Flow Staged Combustion (FFSC) rocket engine. It represents a massive leap in private aerospace tech, utilizing a complex combustion cycle previously flown only by SpaceX's Raptor engine.

Pls rethink on the engine's name- It is colonial - a British officer's. Original name Sagarmatha erased. Fits into the 15 th c. Papal Bull-the Doctrine of Christian Discovery. Alternative- HIMALAYAN. Pls use discretion while naming indigenous efforts. Congratulations anyway!

🚨 BREAKING: 🇮🇳 India’s first ‘SpaceX-level’ rocket engine unveiled by Bengaluru startup Bengaluru startup Astrobase Space has unveiled EVEREST, India’s first fully integrated 80-tonne (800 kN) full-flow staged combustion engine running on liquid oxygen and methane. In this rare design, every drop of fuel and oxidiser powers the pumps before burning, delivering higher efficiency and reusability than standard engines. The complete engine, with 3D-printed core parts, was designed and manufactured entirely in India. Hot-fire tests are next as the company targets orbital flights by 2029.

Like seriously, making a completely unique second stage engine wasn't enough for them. They also had to make a full flow staged combustion cycle engine for the first stage.

SpaceX mastered full-flow staged combustion - the most challenging engine cycle ever flown. Every propellant drop runs through turbopumps before reaching the combustion chamber. The catch? Parts face 600 bar pressures and extreme temperatures. This demanded a new approach...

SpaceX’s Raptor engine didn’t just iterate on rocket design—it obliterated one of the biggest engineering nightmares in aerospace: turbopump cross-contamination. By splitting the oxygen and methane boost pumps onto completely separate, dual-shaft drives, engineers eliminated the catastrophic risk of volatile propellants leaking into each other under extreme chamber pressures. It’s the sheer mechanical brilliance behind Full-Flow Staged Combustion that finally made rapid rocket reusability a reality. #SpaceX #RaptorEngine #RocketEngineering #Aerospace #Starship #EngineeringExcellence #Propulsion #TechInnovation

Canada's first orbital-class rocket engine is now being manufactured! Our patent pending Hadfield-150 engine is the largest and most powerful rocket engine ever built in Canada, and the first known Canadian orbital-class engine to make it to this stage. The Hadfield-150 builds on everything we learned after years of painstakingly designing, manufacturing, and testing the Hadfield-10 series, our first regeneratively cooled and additively manufactured liquid rocket engine. Every engine test, both successful and unsuccessful on our Darkhorse test stand at Area 66, retired risk that's now carried straight into Hadfield-150 and sovereign orbital launch for Canada. A few details about the Hadfield-150 engine series: ✅ Designed to power Tundra and Tundra+, our light and medium-lift launch vehicles, and built to scale to Tempest, our larger reusable medium lift vehicle ✅ Manufactured entirely in-house, from design to print to test, for true sovereign launch capability ✅ Produced at Rocket Factory 1, on our expanding fleet of metal additive manufacturing systems at the AMA Lab, including the largest known metal 3D printer in Canada ✅ Designed for reusability and medium-lift scale from the outset, and built to significantly cut the time, infrastructure, manufacturing and cost iterative engine testing usually requires, with room to scale to even larger engines by leveraging the same design ✅ Capable of engine-out functionality, so losing one on an early flight doesn't have to mean losing the mission ✅ Optimized for Canada's Launch the North initiative, to deliver sovereign operational capability in a time and cost efficient manner Initial testing starts later this year at our new Blackhawk orbital engine test cell at Area 66, our private test range in Ontario. Stacked, integrated vehicle testing comes later at the Atlantic Spaceport Complex, our spaceport in Newfoundland and Labrador. Stay tuned for some exciting and fiery milestones ahead! 🚀🇨🇦 National Defence Defence Research and Development Canada Canadian Space Agency Transport Canada NGen Canada

Stoke Space is developing a fully reusable rocket designed to reuse both its first and second stages. The first stage lands like Falcon 9, while the second stage returns to Earth after delivering its payload using a unique engine with 30 thrust chambers. Its actively cooled heat shield uses cryogenic fuel to protect the rocket during the intense heat of re-entry.
