India is set to send off its most memorable reusable crossover rocket – RHUMI 1 – on August 24, created by the Tamil Nadu-based fire-up Space Zone India. A mobile launcher will be used to launch the rocket from Thiruvidandhai in Chennai. It will carry “3 Cube Satellites and 50 PICO Satellites to a suborbital trajectory.”
This send-off, booked for 7 am on Saturday, is a coordinated effort between Space Zone India and the Martin Gathering and is intended to zero in on adaptability and reusability.
Program as Part Of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Space Program
This occasion denotes the third cooperation between the Martin Gathering and Space Zone India. Over 2,500 students from government, tribal, and public schools across the nation worked together to design and construct a student satellite launch vehicle in 2023 as part of the “Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Students Satellite Launch – 2023” mission.
India’s First Reusable Hybrid Rocket
This mission incorporated a payload of 150 Pico satellite examination try blocks. In 2021, during the ‘Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Space Exploration Payload Shapes Challenge 2021,’ 100 FEMTO satellites created by 1,200 understudies were effectively sent off.
Special Features Of India’s First Hybrid Rocket RHUMI-1
- The rocket’s launch angle can be precisely adjusted between 0 to 120 degrees, allowing accurate trajectory control.
- A cost-effective, innovative, and eco-friendly descent mechanism uses CO2 to ensure the safe recovery of rocket components.
- Beyond space exploration, the rocket has applications in agriculture, environmental monitoring, and disaster management.
- The Money Control report says that the three cube satellites that are going to be sent will keep an eye on things like cosmic radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and air quality.
- The Pico satellites will contribute to a deeper comprehension of atmospheric dynamics by analyzing environmental factors like vibration, accelerometer data, altitude, ozone levels, toxic content, and molecular bonding.
- – The rocket uses a half-breed drive framework that joins strong fuel with fluid oxidizer innovations to guarantee natural security.
Space Zone India Founder and CEO Anand Megalingam highlighted that this system is reusable, offering a more sustainable and cost-effective approach to satellite launches.
