Indian space startup, Agnikul Cosmos, successfully launched its 'Agnibaan SOrTeD' rocket earlier today. This comes after four previous attempts were called off. The rocket, a Sub-Orbital Technological Demonstrator (SOrTeD), was entirely designed and assembled in-house at Agnikul's facilities within IIT Madras. ISRO described the successful mission as "a major milestone, as the first-ever controlled flight of a semi-cryogenic liquid engine realized through additive manufacturing."
