The propulsion system, developed by Manastu, uses a non-toxic, eco-friendly propellant that promises to replace traditional hydrazine-based fuels, which are highly toxic and hazardous to handle. The technology aims to reduce the environmental footprint of satellite launches and improve safety for ground crews.
“This successful test validates years of research and development,” said a spokesperson for Manastu. “Our green propulsion system not only meets performance benchmarks but also sets new standards for sustainability in space exploration.”
The achievement positions Manastu as a key player in the global push for sustainable space technology. The startup’s innovation has garnered interest from satellite manufacturers and space agencies worldwide, eager to adopt greener alternatives for propulsion systems.
With this milestone, Manastu is poised to contribute significantly to India’s growing reputation as a hub for cutting-edge space technology. The startup plans to expand its operations and collaborate with global partners to commercialize its breakthrough propulsion system.
