Why the private aerospace firms a boon for military?
On 18th November, the Skyroot Aerospace scripted the history by launching Vikram-S - the first rocket launched in space by Indian private sector company. The mission was named Prarambh which rightly signifies the entrance of Indian private company in space sector.
The two prominent private firms in space sector are Skyroot Aerospace and Agnikul Cosmos. We have already discussed about the Skyroot Aerospace, in today’s video we are going to talk about Agnikul Cosmos as very soon we are going to witness the launch of their rocket.
The Agnikul Cosmos
The name Agnikul is not Agni + Cool but derived from Sanskrit word Gurukul. Back in olden days students used to go to Gurukul for education. So, the meaning of Agnikul - is a place to learn about fire and how to use them. They also have very fascinating name for their launch vehicle or rocket. Its called Agnibaan which means a fire arrow. The engine that will power its rocket is called Agnilet.
Idea behind Agnikul Cosmos
The Agnilet rocket engine is designed to be used in Agnibaan—a small satellite launch vehicle that can carry payloads of up to 300 kilograms to a low-Earth orbit—which the company is currently developing. The Agnilet rocket engine is a “semi-cryogenic” engine. It uses a mixture of liquid kerosene at room temperature and supercold liquid oxygen to propel itself.
The idea behind setting up Agnikul is to develop and launch small-lift launch vehicle such as the Agnibaan, capable of placing 100 kg (220 lb) payload into a 700 km (430 mi) orbit. Basically, the company is targeting small/Micro/Nano satellites to lower earth orbits which has problems accessing space through conventional launch vehicles. Just like Ola Share or bus service, the company’s idea is to provide the shared launch services to the small satellites reducing the cost and long wait time to launch.
Agnibaan Launch Vehicle
The launch vehicle Agnibaan will be a customizable vehicle depending on the requirement. The rocket has overall length of 18m and diameter of 1.3m. It can lift 100kg of payload to an altitude of 700km Lower Earth Orbit(LEO). The total lift off mass of the vehicle is 14000kg.
Agnibaan can access both low and high inclination orbits and is completely mobile - designed for accessing more than 10 launchports. Driven by LOX/Kerosene engines in all its stages, Agnibaan is configurable by the customer. It doesn’t fly with the same number of engines all the time. The mission, the satellite and the launchport itself would decide how many engines go on the first stage.
3-D printed semi-cryogenic rocket engine
The biggest achievement of Agnikul Cosmos has been the testing of their 3-D printed engine and it became the world’s first company to achieve this in early 2021. They have developed a 3-D printed semi-cryogenic rocket engine called Agnilet. This entire engine is just one piece of hardware from start to finish and has zero assembled part. Typically, an engine has more than 100 parts built and assembled separately. If you look at the main sub-parts of engine, they have fuel injectors, ignitors and cooling channels. Agnilet is a single piece of hardware which combines all these three components into one. Therefore, the company does not have to spend days on the complex assembly of parts and the entire setup ready in less than 4 days. This also increases reliability of the engine as there are no assembled components.
Development progress
At present, the company is working on testing and integration of various subsystems of Agnibaan. They have successfully designed, realised and qualified their engines. They have also successfully fabricated all propulsion subsystems such as pumps and motors and are actively placing orders for many of the large components of the vehicle such as tanks and structural subsystems. Agnikul Cosmos 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
