The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Tuesday successfully completed the second experimental flight demonstrating Air Breathing Propulsion Technology.

The experiment utilised Isro's RH-560 sounding rocket, the heaviest in its sounding rocket family, as a cost-effective flying test bed. The Air Breathing Propulsion systems were symmetrically mounted on either side of the rocket, showcasing Isro's innovative approach to testing advanced technologies.

During the flight, nearly 110 parameters were closely monitored to assess the performance of the propulsion system. The test achieved satisfactory performance of the sounding rocket and successfully ignited the Air Breathing propulsion systems, providing valuable data for future developments in this cutting-edge technology.
