Quite amazing how we just had SpaDex mission last January and now we already have two 🇮🇳 start-ups, working on similar technologies & getting close to their targets. AayulSAT by OrbitAID is set to be India's first on-orbit refuelling mission aboard PSLV-C62 / EOS-N1, ahead of ISRO themselves!

But it’s not just this, we can also make our first stage reusable by offering the rocket’s first stage itself as the base of a satellite, thus utilizing every part of our rocket fully, and maximizing our revenue potential." (I think he meant upper stage here akin to PSLV 4th stage as POEM.)

“We don’t have a set date for it (Agnibaan's first orbital launch), but we’re readying it, which will have commercial clients for next year. In the next two years, we’ll likely scale up to 12-15 launches per year, and by 2030, hope to see 100 launches per year."
