Zorluk: OrtaScience, Emerging Technology, and Space Missions in News

With reference to the 'Agnibaan SOrTeD' (SubOrbital Technological Demonstrator) mission conducted by Indian private space startup Agnikul Cosmos, consider the following statements:

1. It demonstrated India's first semi-cryogenic rocket engine using sub-cooled liquid oxygen and aviation turbine fuel.
2. The mission was launched from India's first private launchpad, established at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
3. The launch vehicle was powered by a fully 3D-printed single-piece engine manufactured as a single component.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

  1. A
    1 and 2 only
  2. B
    2 and 3 only
  3. C
    1 and 3 only
  4. 1, 2 and 3Cevap

Cevap

All three statements (1, 2, and 3) are correct.
The option stating that statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct is the right answer. The Agnibaan SOrTeD mission achieved multiple milestones in Indian space technology: it demonstrated the country's first semi-cryogenic engine flight using liquid oxygen and ATF, launched from India's first private launchpad situated at Sriharikota, and successfully flew a patented 3D-printed single-piece rocket engine (Agnite).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Statement 1 regarding propellant and engine type.
Statement 1 is correct. The Agnite engine is a semi-cryogenic engine that utilizes sub-cooled Liquid Oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer and Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) as fuel.
Semi-cryogenic engines replace liquid hydrogen with refined kerosene/ATF, making propellant storage easier at ambient temperatures while using cryogenic oxygen.
2
Evaluate Statement 2 regarding the launch facility.
Statement 2 is correct. Agnikul Cosmos established India's first private launchpad named 'ALP-01' (Agnikul Launch Pad) at ISRO's Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC SHAR), Sriharikota.
IN-SPACe facilitates private space sector infrastructure setup within ISRO facilities.
3
Evaluate Statement 3 regarding the engine manufacturing technology.
Statement 3 is correct. The Agnite engine is the world's first single-piece 3D-printed rocket engine designed and fabricated entirely as a single component.
Additive manufacturing eliminates assembly joints and thousands of individual component parts in rocket engines.
