Chennai, Aug 21 (Reporter) India’s first reusable hybrid rocket launch from a mobile Launchpad
will take place on August 24.
The launch of RHUMI rocket, carrying three Cube Satellites and 50 Pico satellites, is scheduled
to take place on Saturday at Thiruvidandhai Coastal Village, Chengalpet,on the ECR, marking
a remarkable achievement in India’s space exploration journey.
Scaling new heights in aerospace technology, Space Zone India, an emerging aero-tech company
from Tamil Nadu, on Wednesday unveiled to the media, the Mission RHUMI 2024, a first-of-its-kind
milestone in the Indian aerospace industry.
The company through this mission will be launching India’s first reusable hybrid rocket on a mobile
Launchpad that harnesses the power of technology, combining the advantages of both liquid oxidizer
and solid fuel propellant systems to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.
"The Mobile launch system allows us to adapt to various launch scenarios with ease from any location, Dr. Anand Megalingam, Founder and CEO of Space Zone India, told reporters.
RHUMI 1, the rocket is set to carry three Cube satellites designed to monitor and collect data on
atmospheric conditions, including cosmic radiation intensity, UV radiation intensity, air quality,
and more.
The rocket will deploy 50 different Pico satellites, each dedicated to studying various aspects of
atmospheric conditions such as vibration, accelerometer readings, altitude, ozone levels, toxic
content, and natural and synthetic molecular bonding of fibers, enhancing our understanding of
environmental dynamics...////...
