Orbital inclination 45.0° Agnibaan (Sanskrit, ISO: Agni 'Fire', Bāṇa 'Arrow', lit.
'Arrow of Fire') is a mobile small-lift launch system currently under development, produced by Agnikul Cosmos in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
[1][2] The first stage of the Agnibaan is powered by 7 Agnite engines, each with a thrust of 25 kN (yet to be tested) at sea level.
A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) was signed with the Department of Space to obtain the government's technological assistance in the development of launch vehicles on 3 December 2020.
The test launch will happen from India's rocket port Sriharikota belonging to Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)", said Srinath Ravichandran, co-founder and CEO, Agnikul Cosmos.
A test flight of knocked down version of the rocket Agnibaan SORTeD successfully flew on a suborbital mission on 30 May 2024 from SDSC,[6][7][8] after being postponed several times due to many issues.
