Boson Engine
Our Rocket team will develop a liquid rocket for human flight. We will use liquid oxygen (LOX) and Ethanol as fuel. We gave it the name “Boson Engine” as a tribute to someone special who was a mathematician and physicist specializing in theoretical physics, known as Satyendra Nath Bose.

Project ARLS (Firefly) [Open Source: MIT License]
The Autonomous Rocket Landing System (ARLS) project represents a groundbreaking initiative in the field of space exploration and rocket technology. As humanity continues to push the boundaries of space exploration, the need for more advanced and efficient methods of rocket recovery becomes increasingly vital. ARLS aims to address this challenge by developing a state-of-the-art system that enables autonomous landings of rockets, revolutionizing the way we approach space missions.
Space agencies and private aerospace companies are actively seeking innovative solutions to enhance the reusability of launch vehicles. Traditional methods involve parachutes or controlled descent into bodies of water, requiring extensive post-mission refurbishments. ARLS seeks to overcome these limitations by introducing a cutting-edge autonomous landing system that enhances safety, reduces costs, and facilitates a more sustainable approach to space exploration.

Human Flight To Space
Dhumketu: DX 5.0 Firefly
Human Capsule
The Capsule
The first capsule we build will be a boilerplate model of the pressure hull made from steel. The challenges for creating a crewed capsule are significant: the capsule must be capable of surviving atmospheric stress on entry and ascent. It must hold pressure and support a homegrown life support system. Moreover, the capsule must be capable of returning safely to earth under its own parachutes at a peak velocity of almost Mach 3.
Humna Flight To Space
The Goal
The ultimate goal of DhumketuX is to launch a human on a suborbital ride to space. For this purpose, we are developing the firefly rocket. Designing a manned, suborbital space flight system is not an easy task. Currently, there are only two manned suborbital spaceflight flight systems operational; Blue Origin’s New Shepherd and Virgin Galactic’s Spaceship Two. Both systems are bankrolled by multi-million dollar companies, employing leading aerospace professionals. Our mission is, in every sense, without precedent.
