Agnibaan (Sanskrit, ISO: Agni 'Fire', Bāṇa 'Arrow', lit. 'Arrow of Fire'), produced by Agnikul Cosmos in Chennai, India, is a mobile small-lift launch system currently under development. It is capable of placing a 100 kg (220 lb) satellite into a 700 km (430 mi) orbit. The rocket will be 18 meters long with a diameter of 1.3 meters and a lift-off mass of 14,000 kg (31,000 lb).[1][2][3][4] The Agnibaan rocket has three stages. The first stage is powered by seven Agnilet engines.[1] The second stage is powered by the same Agnilet engine which will have a larger nozzle than the sea level nozzle to optimize it for vacuum.[2]
