T-Hub Boosts Skyroot's Historic Rocket Launch
A company called Skyroot launched a small rocket named Vikram-S in November 2022.
This was a big deal because it was the first time a private Indian company launched a rocket.
The rocket was sent into space from a place where the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) usually does its launches.
After the launch, a leader named KTR celebrated this achievement and said it was a very important moment for India's space technology.
He also wanted India to have a special place where rockets can be designed, made, and tested all in one place, right in Hyderabad.
Skyroot's Vikram-S rocket launched successfully in November 2022.
This marked the first time an Indian private company launched a rocket.
The launch took place from ISRO's facilities in Hyderabad.
KTR celebrated the achievement, calling it a historic moment for India's space tech industry.
