Astrobase is building India's first Full-Flow Staged Combustion (FFSC) Cycle engine — the most efficient and hardest rocket engine cycle ever built. Only one has ever flown. Now we are scaling up to build the Vehicle.
We're hiring:
→ Embedded hardware & software
→ Servo drive & control electronics
→ Aerospace mechanisms
→ Civil engineers

4 trucks. 1 printer. The largest 3D printer in India, arriving at Astrobase. One single printer can manufacture multiple 80 Ton thrust FFSC engines per annum. This is the first.
Wind tunnel done?! :)
Andhra preps to host 🇮🇳first private high-thrust rocket engine test site (PESO cleared), to support Metha-LNG development; CBN acing it.
Meanwhile, folks at Astrobase are pushing one of the most audacious propulsion efforts: 800 kN vacuum thrust FFSC Metha-LOX engine with 3D-printed components, targeting reusability; a sub-scale hot-fire test succeeded in last year, full-scale tests this year🤞
Same ultra-efficient cycle used in Raptor by SpaceX.
*LAT Aero & Sarla are also building pvt wind tunnels
Something meaningful is on the horizon. India’s push toward independent, high-performance space capabilities is entering a crucial phase. At @astrobase_space, we’re strengthening the ground infrastructure needed for scale, cadence, and sovereign control.
@RahulRaghav_10@RahulRaghav_10 It enhances schedule predictability by minimizing external dependencies, enabling parallel workflows, faster design-to-build iterations, and greater control across critical stages of our production timeline.
At @astrobase_space , this marks another addition to our indigenous capability, strengthening in-house manufacturing and readiness. It supports steady scaling, reduces dependence, and contributes to the growth of India’s space ecosystem.
It was a privilege that Captain Puneet B. represented @astrobase_space at MESC 2026, engaging with stakeholders from the Middle East, Europe, and North America. A growing forum shaping space policy, technology, and commercial collaboration globally.
As space infrastructure advances, indigenous capabilities strengthen, and critical tests succeed, @astrobase_space moves forward with purpose and pride, building momentum for India’s self-reliant space vision. A sneak peek at our major progress
Strengthening Indian space manufacturing. With new CNC machines now operational at our Engine and Stage Integration Facility, @astrobase_space is advancing indigenous capability, enabling frequent launches and supporting a self reliant, scalable future for India in space
High-speed turbo pumps tested successfully, marking a major milestone in high-thrust rocket engine development. The performance exceeded predictions, paving the way for hot testing in coming months.
Here is a footage that captured this milestone!
Astrobase ECU features a compact, modular architecture for mission critical control, sensing, and communication. Designed for high signal integrity and repeatable performance under rigorous test conditions, it enables efficient validation and scalable integration.
@astrobase_space was shaped by its team. Through long hours, rigorous testing, and shared responsibility, trust and discipline. As 2025 ends, we’re proud of the strong foundation our team created.
Reliable space systems demand deep manufacturing capability. In India’s growing private space sector, Astrobase’s in-house component 3D printing enables tighter design refinement, faster hardware turnaround, and seamless ground testing.
Built in India. Engineered for reliability
Snippet of our first igniter hot-fire test completed in June 2025. In high-thrust engines, ignition is a make-or-break phase defining reliability from the first moment. At Astrobase Space Technologies, we de-risk propulsion early through disciplined, repeatable ground testing.
Launch is essential, but not sufficient. Nations rely not on one launch, but on systems that work under pressure and over time. Astrobase goes beyond launch. Infrastructure and continuity build capability.

@BrigAnilShukla Thanks for the support 🇮🇳🚀
Every word of encouragement fuels long hours of design reviews, test prep, and problem-solving. We’re building with patience and purpose—and we’re glad to have the community along for the journey.
