ATAL RLS 1 RL- Rocket Capable of Reflight
Presumably first Prototype flight test in 2023

ATAL 1 is a reusable, two-stage rocket is being designed and manufactured by OrbitX for the reliable and safe earth orbital missions and beyond. ATAL 1 is the India's first orbital class reusable rocket. Reusability allows OrbitX to refly the most expensive parts of the rocket.
ATAL 1 reduces the cost of space access!

GalaxEye Space

We are building the world's first multisensor imaging satellite for earth observation purposes to gather unique insights with our proprietary mission called Drishti. Our goal is to provide intuitive, all-weather information over any area of interest across the globe.

galaxeye.space

GalaxEye was founded in 2020 by a team of 5 students/alumni of Indian Institute of Technology Madras, who have previously worked together as part of Team Avishkar Hyperloop, a student competition team at IIT-M, which qualified as the only Asian Finalist at the SpaceX Hyperloop Competition 2019. An IIT Madras incubated space tech startup, we are currently based out of the National Centre for Combustion Research and Development - NCCRD at the IIT Madras Campus in Chennai.


building technologies to provide the Most Meaningful Dataset from Space, that would provide details of an Area of Interest on Earth. This first-of-its-kind dataset will enable advanced Imagery Products and Processes such as Data Fusion, Cloud Removal, etc.

This is enabled by our advanced constellation of Earth Observation Satellites equipped with Drishti sensors. Our constellation will provide very frequent revisit periods across the globe, providing insights both during day/night time and irrespective of weather conditions.

Yeah they are very much involved with HAL, doing all kinds of drone related stuff from swarm to wingman. They are well known. You can search in DRDO thread for charts and stuff about this article.

According to team Manastu, India's state-run Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) has signed up to have this technology onboard an Indian strategic satellite, whereas a French company is also in talks to utilise this system in the final stage of their rocket, for orbit correction and maneuvers.

Mumbai-Based StartUp Plans To Set Up Fuel Stations In Outer Space

Mumbai-Based StartUp Plans To Set Up Fuel Stations In Outer Space

Orbit Fab, a US-based company, has also unveiled plans to launch re-fuelling services for satellites and aims to set up fuel depots in low earth and geostationary orbits, , mumbai, startup

They did it

So, both Manastu Space and Bellatrix Aerospace have demonstrated green mono-propellant thrusters around the same time.

They signed a third MoU with space-based earth-observation company SatSure for providing its propulsion systems for its small satellites that will be launched into lower-earth orbit sometime in December 2022.Bellatrix is also the world’s first firm to develop a Microwave Plasma Thruster that uses only water as a fuel for which it has bagged an order from ISRO. The company has also done a lot of work on developing alternative fuels for rockets at its propulsion lab setup at the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru.

Bengaluru-based deep tech startup SatSure acquires Farm Management software CropTrails to aid its Global Expansion plans

BENGALURU, India, May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SatSure, a deep tech startup working at the intersection of spacetech, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Software as a Service (SaaS) to drive decision intelligence, is pleased to announce the acquisition of SaaS application CropTrails, which was conceptualised and incorporated in the year 2018 by Indore-based startup OEPP Innovations Private Limited.

CropTrails is a web and android application designed to bridge gaps in the processes of farm management. The mobile application is used as an information collecting tool by the field officers or supervisors to record and digitise information about farmers, farms and crops. The application allows the users to monitor and control the crop cycle, track input usage like fertilisers, access weather forecasts, and track farm visits by the supervisors, among others. CropTrails also doubles as a field force productivity monitoring tool with in-built role-based user management. Currently, CropTrails is assisting contract farming companies, FPO's and microfinance institutions across India, South East Asia and African nations.

This development comes in after SatSure raised US$ 5 million in Pre-Series A funding in a round earlier this year. SatSure shall be transforming CropTrails into a no-code platform for IT teams of agribusinesses to rapidly prototype and build their in-house tool that can be easily integrated with SatSure Sparta's datasets. SatSure has always believed that one size cannot fit all, and this is strongly applicable to farm management technology, which includes process automation tools that need regular customisations to extract their true value for organisations.

"Farm digitisation tools like CropTrails are necessary for countries such as Nigeria and the Philippines. It forms the first digital layers on top of which other services can be rendered. Thus this acquisition will help SatSure expand further and strengthen its international market reach into its target geographies in Africa, LATAM and SEA. SatSure will also use the collected data and feed it into its proprietary algorithms to increase its learning rate as part of this deal," said Prateep Basu, founder and CEO of SatSure

Priyan Shah, CEO of OEPP Innovations, added, "We have had a long-standing and successful partnership with SatSure, and with this move, we are confident that CropTrails will evolve into a globally competitive product. Digitisation and traceability are the two pillars on which CropTrails has been built, and SatSure's competency in generating predictive insights using satellite imagery will only add more value to it."



About SatSure

SatSure offers three main decision intelligence products: a) SatSure Sparta: a platform for providing agriculture and climate-related insights on open innovation, freemium model; b) SatSure SAGE: life cycle risk monitoring and business intelligence product suite for agriculture banking; c) SatSure SKIES: high-resolution satellite imagery-based infrastructure change detection product suite.

Agnikul Cosmos to patent 3D-printed rocket engine

Agnikul Cosmos, the space tech startup incubated at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, will apply for a patent for its full-scale, second-stage engine Agnilet, which it claims is the world’s first single-piece 3D-printed rocket engine. This means it’s been made in one shot without the thousands of parts that are typically assembled in a conventional rocket engine.

Agnikul Cosmos has also developed its own mobile launchpad, which allows it to launch rockets from any authorised port. The startup is awaiting final approvals from the Indian Space Research Organisation to launch its rockets from Sriharikota. By developing its own mobile launch pad, the startup is in a better position to scale up its business in the future.

How many launches planned for this 2022 year by ISRO? After Chandrayaan 2 rover failure things does not look good with ISRO and Pandemic also put some brake to their progress. Hope from next year we will see some double digit launches. Need to see the old ISRO with good progress.

What is the thrust of these engines? How big they are?
Just building them using 3D printer is nothing.
Lot of private players in US are building whole rockets using 3D printing now.
Real deal is usable delta and thrust of these engine. They should be able to perform and put satellites to space.
