India launches its first reusable hybrid rocket ‘RHUMI-1’ for climate research – Science News

India has successfully launched its first reusable hybrid rocket, ‘RHUMI-1’, today from Thiruvidandhai in Chennai. Developed by the Tamil Nadu-based start-up Space Zone India in collaboration with the Martin Group, the rocket carried 3 Cube Satellites and 50 PICO Satellites into a suborbital trajectory using a mobile launcher.

The primary mission of these satellites is to gather data for research on global warming and climate change. The RHUMI-1 rocket features a hybrid motor powered by a generic fuel, an electrically triggered parachute deployer and is entirely pyrotechnic-free with no TNT.

The RHUMI mission is spearheaded by Anand Megalingam, founder of Space Zone India, under the guidance of Dr. Mylswamy Annadurai, former Director of the ISRO Satellite Centre (ISAC). RHUMI-1 integrates both liquid and solid fuel propellant systems, enhancing efficiency and reducing operational costs.

Space Zone India, based in Chennai, focuses on providing low-cost, long-term solutions in the space industry. The company offers practical training in Aerodynamics, Satellite Technology, Drone Technology, and Rocket Technology, and raises awareness about career opportunities in the field. They collaborate with private institutions, engineering colleges, and both private and government schools.

In 2023, through the ‘Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Students Satellite Launch’ mission, over 2,500 students from government, tribal, and public schools nationwide contributed to the design and construction of a student satellite launch vehicle capable of carrying 150 Pico Satellite research experiment cubes.
