Mumbai-based Manastu Space successfully test-fired its Vyom 2U thruster onboard the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-4 (POEM) on New Year's Eve. The POEM-4 platform, comprising the fourth stage of the PSLV-C60 rocket that launched the SpaDeX satellites on Monday, is now in orbit at an altitude of 350 km. It will host 24 experiments from ISRO, start-ups, and institutions to advance space technologies.
