Agnikul Cosmos, a Chennai-based space start-up, has successfully conducted India's first clustered semi-cryogenic engine test, firing three engines simultaneously. This milestone, supported by ISRO and IN-SPACe, marks a significant advancement in India's private space industry.

The engines were designed and 3D-printed as single pieces, eliminating complex assembly. This clustered configuration is essential for increasing thrust in future launch vehicles. Engineers will analyze detailed performance data to enhance reliability, indicating a shift from experimentation to advanced propulsion capabilities in India's private sector.
