Astrobase unveils EVEREST — India’s first full-flow staged combustion (FFSC) rocket engine.

80-tonne class. Fully integrated. Designed and manufactured in Bengaluru, India. #aatmarnirbharbharat #Space #Startups

For the beginners who don't have any idea , here is the summary for you:

This is the absolute pinnacle of engineering. A Full-Flow Staged Combustion (FFSC) engine is one of the most advanced liquid rocket engine cycles ever developed. In this design, 100% of both the fuel and oxidizer pass through separate preburners before entering the main combustion chamber.

> Extremely high efficiency
> Extremely complex design and control systems
> Requires advanced metallurgy

As of now, there is only ONE country who has operational FFSC engine. That is SpaceX Raptor 🇺🇸

🇨🇳China is the 2nd country to build FFSC and did hot test. But they have no operational rocket yet.

🇮🇳 India is now the 3rd one to build FFSC. This engine will now undergo multiple hot test on ground for the next few months.

An investigation by The Indian Express has found that of the 22 recipients of public money, 15 have investment ties to 7 members of the selection committee, raising questions of conflict of interest and propriety. These together got over Rs 1,377 crore.

Nine of the firms are linked to the chairman of the selection panel, the founder of an angel investing network who also has a personal stake in at least one of the companies selected.

The members did disclose their interests and recused themselves!!

CENTO : A Military Pact between 5 countries in 1955

– UK
– Iraq (British Backed Monarchy)
– Iran (British Backed Monarchy)
– Turkey (NATO Member)
– Pakistan (British Craved State)

– USA (Associate Member)

Now the Tripartite Military Pact between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkiye

– Turkiye (NATO Member)
– Saudi Arabia (Petro Dollar)
– Pakistan (US Puppet, atleast the Army)

This Pact is heavily backed by the US from behind the scene, there is no if and but. Won't be surprised if more US Puppet States jumped in.

UK used to control Iraq & Iran Oil Fields.

US is now trying to control Iran Oil Fields, they already control Iraqi Oil Fields since 2003.
