Karnataka based DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations has successfully tested a reusable rocket launch vehicle.
The vehicle attained an altitude of about 3 km above ground and successfully landed using a parachute mechanism.
It had air pressure, heat, internal combustion, air friction sensors (with calculation), and miniature parachute for equipment recovery onboard.
The major highlight of this test was that there was a 100% recovery of the onboard sensors as well as the rocket launch vehicle.
The objective of the test was to calculate the burn rate of the solid propellant fuel, attaining an altitude of 3 km and returning to station in operational condition.
Further, the company plans to achieve altitudes of 10 km and subsequently 30 to 50 km to collect valuable atmospheric and meteorological data.
