Rocket business is a logistics business: Agnikul Cosmos' Srinath Ravichandran
Most likely single engine agniban itself just 2stage rocketWill it be single engined sounding rocket like that of Skyroot or Full scale one doing sub orbital flight??
The startup is planning a test launch of its two-stage booster Agnibaan in December 2022. And, based on the findings of the test launch, the startup plans to conduct a commercial launch with customer payloads in March or April 2023, Ravichandran said.It looks like they are going to do sub-orbital flight of full scale rocket, not sounding rocket like Skyroot
So, it's not sub-orbital flight??The startup is planning a test launch of its two-stage booster Agnibaan in December 2022. And, based on the findings of the test launch, the startup plans to conduct a commercial launch with customer payloads in March or April 2023, Ravichandran said.
In March/April it is most likely orbital launchSo, it's not sub-orbital flight??
How will they do commercial launch in first orbital launch itself?In March/April it is most likely orbital launch
I will post about party that's involved when info availableHow will they do commercial launch in first orbital launch itself?
But they have involved forigen space agency earlier back in 2020 they signed MoU with amarican launch spaceport to launch their rocket from there.How will they do commercial launch in first orbital launch itself?

If December launch is a two-stage rocket, it will definitely be orbital.How will they do commercial launch in first orbital launch itself?
@Swesh Right time to get a separate thread for AgniKul too?
AgniKul though hasn't given plans for bigger rockets already like Skyroot but it certainly has higher thrust liquid fueled engines, has announced intention to cluster them (to make a bigger rocket). That experience might excel ahead of any Indian space company in a short period of time.Yes indeed
From their websiteAgniKul though hasn't given plans for bigger rockets already like Skyroot but it certainly has higher thrust liquid fueled engines, has announced intention to cluster them (to make a bigger rocket). That experience might excel ahead of any Indian space company in a short period of time.
Since, they even have already a commercial mission booked in March, I would call them ahead of curve of Skyroot already.
Hmm Electric pump fed,interestingFrom their website

Agnikul Cosmos is building launch vehicles capable of taking micro and nanosatellites to Low Earth Orbit, on-demand. Agnikul believes that getting to space shouldn't be the hardest part of living & working from space.agnikul.in
So that'd be a perfect mobile launcher for quick services. May even kill DRDO's DSLV VEDA Project? @Swesh @ezsasa @Vamsi
DRDO could also finish developing Veda and give ToT to agnikul.From their website

payload limitations,only 100Kg to 700KM SSO, not enough for small military sat, should be atleast 300KgFrom their website
