Agnikul Cosmos: Printing Single-Piece Rocket Engines for India’s Private Launch Economy

Agnikul uses metal additive manufacturing to consolidate the principal combustion hardware into a single Inconel structure. Its Agnilet and Agnite semi-cryogenic engines integrate the injector, combustion chamber and regenerative cooling channels within the printed assembly. After printing, the hardware undergoes computed-tomography inspection, heat treatment, grinding and cleaning before testing or flight integration.

Skyroot Aerospace: Building India’s Private Orbital Launch Capability with the Vikram Rocket Family

The company’s Vikram launchers are named after Dr Vikram Sarabhai, the architect of India’s space programme.
