Chennai-based space startup AgniKul Cosmos has announced plans to build fully reusable rockets, aiming to make satellite launches more affordable and globally competitive. The company made the announcement at the International Astronautical Congress in Sydney, highlighting that no part of its rockets will be left behind or fully expended. Agnikul, which successfully tested its 3D-printed Agnibaan SOrTeD rocket last year, is now preparing for its first orbital launch. Backed by patents across the US, Europe, and India, the startup is developing proprietary multi-purpose reusability and semi-cryogenic technologies to enable cost-efficient re-flights.

India’s spacetech story has moved far beyond the “cycle se chand tak” days of ISRO. Today, over 140 startups are building across launch, Earth observation, satcom and analytics to create a credible venture opportunity. Momentum is visible. ISRO’s SpaDeX mission has successfully demonstrated in-space docking (including autonomous docking and power transfer) which is a rare capability globally. In that sense, India now joins a small club of nations with indigenous rendezvous/docking tech. As technology milestones like these raise the ceiling of what’s possible, the government is working to raise the floor for demand. It is setting ambitious targets: five unicorns in five years and 50 launches annually. A landmark signal of this new era is the ₹1,200 crore PPP awarded under IN-SPACe to a consortium led by Pixxel (with PierSight, SatSure, and Dhruva Space) to design, build, and operate a 12-satellite Earth observation constellation over the next 4 to 5 years. It shows that anchor demand will continue to come through public-private collaboration. We’re actively investing in spacetech companies.

Space Startups: The Next Big Wave -by Neerav Kumar Sharma The traditional narrative of space, a domain exclusive to astronauts and government agencies, is officially a relic of the past. By 2035, the commercial space economy is expected to hit $1.8 trillion, larger than the combined current global airline and maritime industries. This signifies the primary investment cycle for the upcoming decade, propelled by the growth of specialized startups operating with speed and precision. Why the sudden spike at this time? Three key innovations have paved the way for business: Companies like SpaceX are developing reusable rockets, and launch costs have been drastically lowered by more than 90% due to the economics of space. Orbital access has shifted from a nation-state expense to something a well-funded startup can achieve, changing the industry's economics. Satellites have shrunk to the size of a stack of four 3.5-inch Hard Drives(CubeSats), allowing them to be launched in batches, enabling startups to deploy entire constellations affordably and provide the persistent, global coverage that was once impossible. A significant influx of private investment is moving into "deep tech" space. De-risked technology and tested business models, particularly in data services, are transforming high-risk wagers into calculated investments A new ecosystem is being built in orbit, focused on critical infrastructure. This includes mitigating hazardous debris, satellite servicing, and microgravity manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and advanced materials. Pioneering firms are advancing in the commercial viability of suborbital tourism and asteroid mining, transforming theoretical concepts into tangible business models. Startups are analyzing satellite data to provide unprecedented insights, monitoring deforestation, tracking port activity for supply chains, or providing accurate flood risk data. These deep-tech and space start-ups are also redefining the Indian economy. By attracting venture capital and cost-effective launches, and satellite technologies. This is unlocking a robust market, enabling advances in the sectors of agriculture, logistics, and data analytics, contributing not only to India's GDP but also putting India as a competitor in the space economy. The takeaway is clear: the space sector is creating foundational technologies that will transform our world. As forerunners establish their positions, the strategic imperative for every business is to evolve. It is no longer a matter of if space will affect your industry, but when and how. #SpaceTech #SpaceEconomy #Startups #Innovation #VentureCapital #FutureOfTech #SpaceExploration #Technology #Business #DeepTech #Satellites #EarthObservation #LaunchServices #ISC2025 #Renaisssanice4_0 #MakeSomeSpace Image source: https://lnkd.in/g77YnC2F

Chennai-based spacetech startup Agnikul Cosmos announced said that it plans to develop fully reusable rockets, aiming to deliver satellite-launch services at globally competitive prices. The startup made the announcement at the International Astronautical Congress in Sydney, stating that no part of its future rockets will be expended or left behind. Agnikul carried out its maiden sub-orbital test flight of its 3D-printed rocket, Agnibaan SOrTeD, last year and is preparing for its first orbital launch. “We have consistently designed our vehicles to ensure that affordability and flexibility are never afterthoughts but built in from day one,” said Srinath Ravichandran, co-founder and CEO of Agnikul Cosmos. He credited the support of IN-SPACe and ISRO, which have enabled the company to explore rocket-stage recovery and reusability from both policy and technology standpoints. Backed by multiple patents in the United States, Europe, and India for its proprietary multi-purpose and reusability technologies, Agnikul said it is scaling up toward commercially viable, fully reusable launch vehicles, inspired by the success of SpaceX’s Falcon 9. #AgnikulCosmos #spacetech #Falcon9 #rocket #technology #innovation #indianstartupnews
