Project Lead : Prabhu Safi
Motor Class : K95%
Total Impulse : 2500 N·s
Maximum Thrust : 2700 N
Status : Successfully tested
With a peak thrust of 2700 N and a total impulse of 2500 N·s, it stands as one of the most
powerful rocket motors built and successfully tested by a student team in India.
Achieving this feat required advanced propellant optimization, precision manufacturing, and innovative design.
Student-Developed High-Power Bi-Propellant Liquid Rocket Engine
Project Lead : Prabhu Safi
Propellant : N2O(L) / C2H5OH(L)
Thrust : 7000 N
Specific Impulse : 216 s
Burn time : 10 sec
Cooling System : Regenerative cooling
Status : Ongoing
This engine will produce 7 kN of thrust with a burn time of 10 seconds, powered by Liquid Nitrous Oxide (N₂O) as the oxidizer and Ethanol as the fuel, using a pressure-fed system.
This initiative represents a pioneering effort in advancing liquid propulsion technology at the student level, a field known for its precision, efficiency, and potential for reusability.
