Space tech start-up, Manastu Space, started by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has successfully test fired their first Green Propulsion System VYOM 2U onboard PSLV C60 in space on December 31, 2024, at 8:50 p.m. in Lucknow.

The Green Propulsion System is a non-toxic, environmentally friendly alternative to conventional chemical propulsion systems that are being researched to find efficient propellants that have a minimal impact on the environment and human health. 

PSLV Orbital Experimental Module, or POEM, is a versatile initiative by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) designed to provide a cost-effective platform for on-orbit experiments. POEM transforms the fourth stage of the PSLV rocket into a free-flying testbed in low Earth orbit, offering startups, research institutions, and universities an affordable way to validate their technologies in space.
