Humbled to share that we successfully test fired 4 semi-cryogenic rocket engines simultaneously, as a cluster. All the 4 engines are 3d printed as single pieces of hardware - designed and manufactured in-house at AgniKul Cosmos Rocket Factory - 1. As with all our propulsion systems, these 4 engines are also powered by electric motor driven pumps. This test involved calibrating 8 pumps, 8 motors and tuning 8 speed control algorithms to work together in perfect sync to achieve uniform startup, steady state and shutdown performance across the entire system. As with the last cluster test, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time such a test has been performed in India with semi cryogenic engines. We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to be building world class, original space technology from India, for the world with the support of IIT Madras ISRO and IN-SPACe From here on, the addition of engines to our clusters will likely increase non-linearly. #Agnibaan #RocketEngineCluster #ElectricPumpFedEngines #Agnilet #SinglePieceEngine #3dprinting #RocketEngineTest #AdditiveManufacturing #Agnikul #AgnikulCosmos #StartupIndia #MakeinIndia #madeinIndiaForTheWorld Srinath Ravichandran MOIN SPM Satyanarayanan Chakravarthy IIT Madras IITMRP IIT Madras Incubation Cell Technology Development Board DSTIndia Anusandhan National Research Foundation TIDCO Startup India StartupTN Guidance Tamil Nadu Kerala Startup Mission SIPCOT

How many BOOKS have been destroyed, burned HIDDEN to keep us from KNOWLEDGE? More and more books are removed from circulation claiming OBSOLESCENCE, especially ENCYCLOPEDIAS. l too read an old set when l was young full of the fantastical, INFORMATION l could no longer find through search engines.

Adrian Adrian. He does not only have the same first and last name. He is also our Technical Lead of Engine Assembly and brings our Helix engines to life. From small individual parts to fully assembled powerhouses for RFA ONE, the journey to ignition is intense 🔥 In the video, he shares his story and what it's like to work at RFA. Building history instead of just watching it unfold. For him, the roar of the engines is the greatest reward, but right after that? It’s time to work on the next ones. Because it takes many Helix engines to achieve the goal of flexible, regular and independent access to space for Europe 🚀 We are growing quickly and are looking for people who share our curiosity, passion and drive in the areas of development, production, assembly and testing! ➡️ Check out our open roles and join us: Engine Assembly Technician 🔗 Electrician (Sweden) 🔗 Avionics AIT Technician 🔗 Manufacturing Engineer 🔗 Welder 🔗

Why are many in the space community calling SpaceX Starship Flight 11 the Flight of many “Lasts”? That’s because it is true and represents a major transition from the more Wild Wild West of prototype development to a more operational, maturing space launch and spacecraft system. After Flight 11, much of the original orbital launch site systems, from the launch mount, to the water deluge & supporting systems are about to be replaced by a brand-new & much more reliable, survivable & rapidly reusable system. These changes will even make the iconic imagery we are familiar with just historical memories. In this video clip, I discuss some of what is driving this, and what we can expect to see not just here at Starbase, but at many other SpaceX launch sites. Ellie in Space 🚀💫

At first glance, it feels unreal. A diesel engine so massive it doesn't register like something meant to move a vehicle, more like industrial machinery pulled straight out of a power plant. A 63-liter V24 diesel is built for one purpose only, relentless torque and endurance. The sheer scale of it changes how you think about engines, with displacement measured in dozens of liters and components sized like standalone machines. This isn't about revs or response, it's about force delivered without effort. Seeing something like this is a reminder of how wide the automotive and mechanical world really is. From compact performance engines to monsters like this, power takes many forms, and sometimes the most impressive ones are defined purely by scale. Credits:- cars35onroad

🚨🇺🇸 SpaceX just rolled out a complete overhaul with Starship V3, the version Elon believes will actually work. Almost every major system on the vehicle has been redesigned from the ground up. Key changes debuting with V3: -Engines: Full design overhaul of the Raptor engines powering both Super Heavy and the Starship spacecraft -Fins: Alterations to the "gridfins" that guide the booster during landing -Hot-staging: Reworked hardware at the booster-ship separation point for better mid-flight protection -Fuel line: Redesigned "fuel transfer tube" enabling all 33 engines to ignite simultaneously and faster -Thermal protection: Large shrouds covering Raptor engines removed and replaced with targeted shielding -Propulsion system: Completely reimagined Starship spacecraft propulsion with larger propellant tanks -Satellite dispenser: New actuators and inverters increasing deployment speed for each satellite -Docking mechanism: New cone-shaped "docking drogues" for in-orbit Starship-to-Starship docking and propellant transfer That last piece is the most important. On-orbit refueling is the holy grail that makes deep space travel possible. Once Starships can dock and refuel each other in space, the moon becomes a weekend trip and Mars becomes a real destination. V3 is the architectural beginning of an interplanetary transit system.

Humbled to announce the successful firing of our single piece Agnite engine. Agnite engines power Agnibaan’s booster stage. These engine chambers are a full meter long, fully 3d printed as a single piece of hardware and made of Inconel. Agnite engines are driven by pumps that are controlled and operated by electric motors. Thanks to ISRO & IN-SPACe for their constant support and to IIT Madras for being our home turf from which this kind of technology is built. This Agnite engine was printed, depowdered and post processed in the same machines that we inaugurated as a part of our Large Format Additive Metal Manufacturing facility (LFAMM) towards the end of last year. This milestone is also significant for us because it completes one end-to-end cycle of design, manufacturing, assembly and testing of our larger engines, in-house. Amazing work by the team in pulling off a few world firsts here. - world’s first single piece engine of this size being fired - world’s largest inconel only engine - world’s only electric motor fed, semi cryo engine of this size and the list continues. However, this is not a race to be the world's first, it is a race to be the world's best & to be the world's most useful technology for launching small satellites to orbit. This comes right after firing a cluster of 3 semi cryogenic engines that happened last month. Honoured to be working with a team that truly believes in building world class, original space technology for the world, from India.

🇷🇺 Russia’s Yakovlev makes another fully domestic passenger plane, a Yakovlev MC-21. These planes were developed with many Russian parts pre 2022, but now Yak reworked the model and swapped everything for Russian parts. The aircraft had its imported components and systems replaced with Russian ones. The procedure of swapping every part of a plane for domestic components is extremely complex, as this has not been done before. Usually you iterate on a plane part by part, not doing such a big bang change. This procedure includes replacement of the cockpit controls, control system drives, wing mechanization movement system and stabilizer adjustment mechanism, avionics complex, integrated air conditioning system, integrated system for collecting, monitoring, processing, and recording flight information, wheel braking system, main and auxiliary power units, fuel system, wheels, tires, and more. The plant workers, together with specialists from the flight test and refinement complex of PJSC "Yakovlev," are checking the fuel system, start-up and operation of the auxiliary power unit and main engines, as well as testing of the aircraft's systems and equipment with the engines running. Frequency tests of the landing gear systems and integrated control system were also carried out on the aircraft. 1/

After years of development, testing and refinement, we are printing one of our last Hadfield-10 rocket engines, a bittersweet moment 🫡 More of our team is transitioning toward getting our much larger orbital-class Hadfield-100 engine ready for the test stand, and getting Canada to orbit for the first time with our Tundra rocket. The pressure-fed Hadfield-10 series has been the backbone of NordSpace's propulsion program since our earliest days. It's the engine that proved we could design, manufacture, test and fly liquid rocket engines from scratch, entirely in-house, at the pace necessary to reach orbit. It powered our first successful hot-fire tests, survived our most demanding qualification campaigns, and gave our team the hard-won knowledge that no textbook or simulation could provide. It also powers our Taiga sub-orbital vehicle, which is taking flight in a few weeks. Every experimental lesson learned in its development from combustion stability, regenerative cooling, additive manufacturing, and test operations lives on in what comes next. That knowledge now flows directly into our turbopump fed Hadfield-100 engine, the most powerful rocket engine in Canadian history. Designed to power our orbital Tundra rocket to deliver 500+ kg to LEO and scaling further to 1,100 kg LEO in the Tundra+ configuration. Architected from day one to grow to the thrust levels required for our reusable Titan medium-lift vehicle targeting 5,000+ kg to LEO while striking the right balance between performance, scalability, heritage, and speed of development to meet the Government of Canada's targets. The Hadfield-10's design will also form the foundation of our SHARP Sabre hypersonic rocket's M2S-HyRock engine. The full shift to the Hadfield-100 is a major milestone for us, and it's not just about more powerful engines. The infrastructure we're developing from moving to a much larger facility, acquiring much larger metal 3D printers, developing new test cells, and pursuing rigorous standards all feed in to this next phase of growth for our program. To everyone on the NordSpace team who designed, printed, tested, and refined these engines across so many late nights, early mornings and weekends, thank you. This chapter made everything that follows possible, and the next one starts now.
