Skyroot Aerospace, the pioneering private rocket builder, achieved a major milestone by successfully test-firing an advanced fully 3D-printed cryogenic engine for a record 200 seconds.
The endurance test of ‘Dhawan-II’ was carried out at Solar Industries propulsion test facility in Nagpur, Maharashtra, using indigenously developed mobile cryogenic engine test pad.
The development comes after the launch of Vikram – S, which made Skyroot the first Indian private company to send a rocket into space, in November 2022.
Skyroot said the Dhawan-II engine builds upon the foundation laid by the firm’s first privately developed fully-cryogenic rocket engine, the 1.0 kN thrust Dhawan – I, which was successfully test fired in November 2021.
The cryogenic engine series is named in honour of Dr. Satish Dhawan, an Indian rocket scientist who played a crucial role in the development of the Indian Space Program.
