Indian startup Othisis test-fires 3D-printed cryogenic rocket engine

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Indian startup Othisis has successfully test-fired a 3D-printed, fully cryogenic rocket engine. The engine utilizes liquid oxygen (LOX) and methane as propellants, offering a stronger burn and reduced residue compared to traditional kerolox engines, which could lead to faster reusability. Despite being in business for only two years, Othisis has reportedly secured agreements for payload delivery into space. AI
