The Indian Space Research Organization (Isro) unveiled the first privately designed and operated rocket launchpad and mission control centre in India.
The facility, unveiled by S. Somanath, chairman of Isro and secretary Department of Space (DoS), is designed and will be fully operated by homegrown space startup Agnikul Cosmos.
Agnikul Cosmos is expected to launch its first rocket called Agnibaan.
Agnilet is the world's first single-piece 3D printed engine fully designed and manufactured in India and was successfully test-fired in early 2021.
Agnikul had then become the first company in the country to test its engines at Isro.
