Skyroot Aerospace Prepares Vikram-1 Rocket Launch
Skyroot Aerospace, a company from Hyderabad, is getting ready to launch its first rocket called Vikram-1.
This is a big deal because it's the first rocket made by a private company in India.
The rocket is special because it has engines that were made using 3D printing and a body made of carbon fiber, which makes it very light and strong.
Skyroot has a big factory where they can build one rocket every month.
They are working with many countries to launch their satellites.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is helping them test the rocket.
The launch is expected to happen in the next two months after final checks.
Skyroot is also planning to make bigger rockets and reusable ones in the future.
Skyroot Aerospace is preparing to launch Vikram-1, India's first private commercial orbital rocket, within two months.
Vikram-1 features 3D-printed hypergolic engines and an all-carbon-fibre structure, developed in less than four years.
The rocket can deploy multiple satellites in a single mission and is currently undergoing final regulatory reviews.
Skyroot's Infinity Campus in Hyderabad is a 200,000 sq. ft. facility equipped to produce one rocket per month.
The company collaborates with ISRO for testing and has partnerships with over 30 countries for satellite launches.
