Manastu Space's Green Propulsion Revolution

Mumbai's Manastu Space successfully tested its Vyom 2U thruster on the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-4 (POEM), marking a significant milestone in green propulsion technology. The test involved tilting the platform by 24 degrees, showcasing the capability of the hydrogen peroxide-based MS289 propellant to replace traditional carcinogenic propellants.

Manastu Space, a Mumbai-based start-up, achieved a significant milestone by successfully test-firing its Vyom 2U thruster on the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-4 (POEM).

This innovative test tilted the platform by 24 degrees before the onboard systems regained control, showcasing the effectiveness of the hydrogen peroxide-based MS289 green propellant.

The demonstration is part of a broader effort facilitated by ISRO and IN-SPACe to support space technology experiments without launching whole satellites. The POEM-4 hosts 24 experiments, marking a crucial step in space research.
