India’s first privately developed orbital rocket -Vikram-1, is ready to blast off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
India's first privately developed orbital rocket is ready to blast off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. Developed by Skyroot, a private aerospace company, Vikram-1 has been named after India's pioneering space scientist Vikram Sarabhai.This will be the first time an orbital-class rocket, fully designed and developed by a private player, will attempt to fly from Indian soil.The Mission Aagaman launch marks the arrival of India's private sector in the global launch business. Vikram-1 is a multi-stage orbital launch vehicle built with an all-carbon-composite structure. It is powered by in-house developed propulsion systems, including 3D-printed engines and high-thrust solid-fuel rocket boosters, and is designed to carry small satellites weighing up to 350 kg to Low Earth Orbit. The test flight is meant to see how the technology developed by Skyroot Aerospace performs in real-world conditions. The in-flight data gathered from this mission will be used by the company to learn, improve, and build further.Video Credit: Businessline
