India's First Private Orbital Rocket Launches

India just launched its first private rocket called Vikram 1.

This rocket was made by a company called Skyroot Aerospace.

It's special because it's the first time a private company in India has made a rocket that can go into orbit around Earth.

The rocket flew really fast, at 6.5 kilometers per second.

This is a big deal because it shows that private companies in India can also do important space stuff, not just the government.

It's like when a new team joins a big race and does really well.

Everyone is excited to see what they'll do next!
