- [Space Zone India Restarts a Rocket Engine Mid-Flight](https://exceptional.technology/space-zone-india-rhumi-twin-engine-restart/): Most rockets burn their engines exactly once: ignition at liftoff, cutoff when the propellant runs out. Restarting an engine in mid-air — cutting it, coasting, and lighting it again — is the capability that makes reusable boosters, multi-burn orbital stages and precision satellite deployments possible. From the Chennai coast on October 10, a Chennai startup […]
- [Yaanendriya: The Bengaluru Startup Building India's Own Navigation and Inertial Sensors](https://exceptional.technology/yaanendriya-indigenous-navigation-inertial-sensors-bengaluru/): Every drone that holds position in a gust of wind, every robot that knows which way is up, every missile that stays on course when GPS goes dark — behind each of them sits a layer of sensors that determines whether an autonomous machine can accurately perceive its movement and translate commands into stable, predictable […]
- [The ePlane Company: The Chennai Startup Building India's First Electric Air Taxi](https://exceptional.technology/the-eplane-company-india-first-electric-air-taxi/): India builds rockets that reach the Moon and satellites that watch its weather, but almost nothing it builds takes off with civilians inside — the country’s entire commercial aircraft fleet is imported. A Chennai startup founded by an IIT Madras aerospace professor is betting that the first truly Indian aircraft won’t be a conventional plane […]
- [Moonrider: The Bengaluru Startup Putting Electric Tractors on India's Fields](https://exceptional.technology/moonrider-electric-tractor-bengaluru/): For an Indian farmer, the tractor is the most expensive machine they will ever own — and the diesel it burns is the most expensive fuel they will ever buy.
