Raman Engine is a Bipropellant Rocket engine manufactured by Skyroot Aerospace that will be used in its Vikram family of rockets.[1] It is named after Indian Nobel laureate Sir C.V. Raman.
Description
It uses UDMH and NTO as its propellant which makes it a Hypergolic Engine.[2] Its injector plate is completely 3D printed. This engine will be used in a cluster of 4 in the Vikram 1 rocket which can produce a thrust of 3.4 kN each producing 850 N of thrust, which is low compared to many other rocket engines, but is required for precise orbit adjustments.[3][4]
Development and Testing
- On 12 August 2020, Skyroot Aerospace successfully tested the engine for the first time.[5]
