"Earth is the cradle of humanity, but one cannot remain in the cradle forever."

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, 1911

A civilization living beyond Earth needs one thing before anything else: a way to get there. Large, reusable, at scale.

Every constellation, every station, every mission waits on launch. Launch waits on propulsion.

So we started at the engine.

Join The Team

Mission kicked off with a bold ambition: build large reusable rockets. Scale to 1000 tons/year to orbit

Assembly Factory Operational: Setup of our 46,000 sq. ft. facility to build and integrate critical flight hardware

India's only private high thrust cryogenic rocket test facility

Engine manufacturing: set up a 46K sq ft manufacturing facility from scratch, purpose-built for high precision aerospace engineering
Engine testing: Started building large-scale test infrastructure for EVEREST
Procured one of the world’s largest 3D printers - leveraging additive manufacturing for complex assemblies

Unveiled EVEREST - an 80-ton thrust methalox FFSC engine

Completed building our large-scale testing complex in Anantapur, AP. A 21-acre engine test facility built to sustain >200 tons of thrust and >3000 °C exhaust flames during hot fire testing. Building this ourselves reduces our iteration time and accelerates our learning rate
Among 4 teams in the entire world to have built an FFSC engine
