Skyroot Aerospace, an Indian spacetech company, tested how well parts of its Vikram-1 rocket separate in space.
They developed a system to smoothly disconnect stages without shock.
This test is a key step before launching the rocket.
The rocket will send satellites into orbit.
They also tested small engines to help control the rocket's movement.
These tests show that private Indian companies are making advancements in space technology.
Skyroot Aerospace tested the stage separation system of its Vikram-1 rocket.
