OUR WORK

We are Team Abhyuday from IIT Madras. Our team is composed of 52 highly passionate & innovative students of IIT Madras, including undergraduates and a Ph.D. Scholar. We are united by our passion for spaceflight. We had the privilege of competing in the Spaceport America Cup-2023, the world's largest intercollegiate rocketry competition, and now we're eager to enhance our performance in the upcoming edition of this prestigious event.

Verticals


Business and Operations Team

Business and operations vertical acts as a bridge between the team and the corporate world. We are responsible for bringing in sponsorship, managing the budget and finance of the team. We also look after branding, logistics and accommodation for the SpacePort America Cup.

Airframe Team

Our Airframe vertical builds the rocket's body from ideation of the design and the payload needs through the simulations of components, testing and manufacturing of parts,and also final assembly and finishing to make the complete rocket.

Avionics & Recovery Team

The vertical targets to build an efficient flight computer which enables the transmission of sensor data and state of the rocket to the ground station,it also focuses on accurate deployment of parachute at targeted altitude for a safe recovery, therefore validating the idea of reusable rockets. Furthermore the vertical targets to create a recovery design keeping weight optimisation into account.Thus ending the mission via safe recovery of the whole rocket.

Propulsion Team

Welcome to the forefront of space exploration. Our Hybrid Rocket Engine blends solid fuel and gas/liquid oxidizer, achieving 2000-2500 N Thrust and 10,000 Ns total Impulse. Utilizing cutting-edge materials and 3D printing, we're crafting a new era. Explore our modular Test Stand, capable of accommodating engines up to 10,000 N. Join us in shaping the future.

Payload

At the core of the rocket lies the pulsating payload. Payload embodies experimentation and scientific exploration.. The fields ranging from microbiological studies under microgravity to particle physics.. There exists a certain kind of ingenuity in the aspects we’re working on.

Research Paylaod Team

We are focussed on the research and development of prototypes of experimental payloads, which can be used in future launches. Our current project is based on imaging, where we work on algorithms tailored for low-light imagery at high speeds, along with the development of proprietary sensors. This endeavor encompasses surveying and mapping applications across various industries, including agriculture, defense, and communication.
