Skyroot Plans Next-Gen Rocket Vikram-II

Skyroot, an Indian space company, is working on a new rocket called Vikram-II.

This rocket is planned to launch in 2027 and can carry bigger satellites than the previous one, Vikram-I.

Vikram-II can carry up to 900 kg to a place called Low Earth Orbit and 600 kg to another place called Sun Synchronous Orbit.

This is more than double what Vikram-I could carry.

The new rocket will also have a special engine that makes it more efficient.

This means it can support bigger and more important missions for businesses, scientists, and the government.
