Omspace is building a reusable rocket in Ahmedabad for small satellite launches

Omspace, an aerospace startup based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is developing a reusable rocket called Infinity-One for small satellite launches. Founded in June 2020 by Ravindra Raj B M, the company operates under the guidance of Surya family office and Dubai-based OSRE FZC. India's small satellite market has experienced rapid growth, yet Indian operators face challenges in securing launch opportunities due to limited capacity.

Omspace aims to address this gap by offering a dedicated, within-24-hour launch window using its mobile launch platform. The startup's Infinity-One rocket is designed as a reusable vehicle, targeting nano and small satellites, a niche ISRO does not prioritize. Its engine development is a key focus, with the company working on India's first electric-pump-fed rocket engine, an innovative approach that trades some performance for simplicity and cost-effectiveness.

Manufacturing is largely carried out in-house, utilizing advanced technologies such as composites, additive manufacturing, five-axis machining, and filament winding. Alongside the technical development, Omspace runs an educational program called Youngspace, which has conducted over 200 workshops for more than 55,000 participants across India and the UAE. This educational outreach generates revenue while building a network of aerospace education franchises.

The company is actively involved in the international space community, holding membership in the International Astronautical Federation and exhibiting at various trade events, including a space business expo in Tokyo in 2026. Omspace has established collaborations with international partners, such as the UK-based Prometheus, and maintains a presence in North America, Australia, and Europe.

The company's progress includes the successful flight test of its Infinity-One rocket on June 20, 2025, marking a significant milestone in its development journey.
