## Name

The name Bellatrix is from the Latin bellātrix which means "female warrior". It was also used in naming the red supergiant star Bellatrix.

## History

Bellatrix Aerospace had initially proposed the development of its small-lift orbital class launch vehicle named Chetak and had planned for its launch in 2023. [4] The two-stage Chetak was to be powered by a number of its proposed Aeon engines which would use liquid methane as propellant.[5] Later in 2019, water was proposed as a propellant for an electric propulsion system.[2][6] On 8 February 2021, Bellatrix Aerospace announced its partnership with Skyroot Aerospace.[7] However, on 9 February 2022, Founder Rohan Ganapathy announced on Twitter that the company had stopped working on its rocket and instead focusing exclusively on propulsion systems.[8]
