Agnikul is a startup that manufactures and launches orbital-class rockets for micro- and nanosatellites. The company has already demonstrated a suborbital rocket launch and plans to launch small satellites into low-Earth orbit using its 3D-printed Agnibaan rocket. Its single-piece semi-cryogenic engine is also 3D-printed from Inconel and includes everything from the injector to the cooling channels. After printing, the company performs CT scanning, heat treatment, grinding and cleaning in preparation for launch. The startup is also working on refurbishing the launch vehicle's lower stage, which can be reused for subsequent missions.
