Hyderabad-based spacetech startup Skyroot Aerospace has tested India’s first privately developed cryogenic rocket—Dhawan 1. Cryogenic engines are rocket propulsion systems that use propellants stored at cryogenic temperatures (less than -150°C). Dhawan 1 runs on liquid natural gas (LNG) and liquid oxygen (LoX).
