Spacetech startup Bellatrix Aerospace to commercialise propulsion systems

Spacetech startup Bellatrix Aerospace on Thursday said it will start commercialising its proprietary propulsion systems that help satellites generate the thrust for a transfer and stabilisation into orbit.

The company achieved a significant milestone with the launch of its propulsion systems – Rudra and Arka – on board the national space agency’s PSLV C-58 launch vehicle on January 1. This gives the company its first space qualification.
