Skyroot Aerospace joins small group of companies capable of orbital launches
Skyroot Aerospace became the first Indian private company to successfully launch a rocket into orbit with its Vikram-1 mission, marking a significant milestone for India's commercial space sector. The launch, named Aagaman, follows the startup's earlier sub-orbital flight of Vikram-S in 2022 and underscores India's growing capabilities in space technology. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the team, emphasizing the achievement as a testament to the nation's push for self-reliance in this field.
