Raman Engine is a bipropellant rocket engine manufactured by Skyroot Aerospace that will be used in its Vikram family of rockets. It is named after Indian Nobel laureate Sir C.V. Raman.

Description

It uses UDMH and NTO hypergolic propellants. Its injector plate is completely 3D printed. This engine will be used in a cluster of 4 in the fourth stage of the Vikram 1 rocket, which can produce a thrust of 3.4 kN each producing 850 N of thrust, which is lower than many other rocket engines, but is required for precise orbit adjustments.
