Engineering the Future of Launch

From propulsion to avionics, every system in the Garuda launch vehicle is designed for reliability, affordability, and performance. Here's the technology that makes it possible.

01

Hybrid Propulsion

M24-S1 Engine

Our flagship M24-S1 engine uses next-generation green hybrid propulsion — combining solid fuel grain with liquid oxidizer for optimal performance. This approach delivers high thrust-to-weight ratio while eliminating toxic propellants used by traditional systems.

  • +Non-toxic, environmentally safe propellants
  • +Throttleable combustion for mission flexibility
  • +Simplified plumbing reduces failure modes
  • +Lower cost than bipropellant liquid engines
02

Avionics & GNC

Guidance, Navigation & Control

Indigenous flight computer and sensor suite designed for reliability and precision. Our GNC stack handles everything from liftoff through orbital insertion and payload deployment with autonomous operation.

  • +Redundant inertial measurement units (IMU)
  • +GPS-aided navigation with Kalman filtering
  • +Real-time trajectory optimization
  • +Autonomous flight termination system
03

Structures & Manufacturing

Lightweight Composite Design

Advanced composite structures minimize dry mass while maintaining structural integrity under extreme flight loads. Our manufacturing approach combines modern composites with proven metallic interfaces for reliability.

  • +Carbon fiber composite airframe
  • +Aluminum-lithium alloy bulkheads
  • +Filament-wound pressure vessels
  • +Designed for high production cadence
04

Ground Systems

Launch Infrastructure

Purpose-built ground support equipment and launch infrastructure designed for rapid turnaround. Automated propellant loading, pre-flight checkout, and launch sequencing minimize pad time and operational complexity.

  • +Automated launch sequence
  • +Remote propellant loading
  • +Transportable ground support equipment
  • +Mission control with real-time telemetry
