Skyroot's Vikram-1 Rocket Reaches Orbit

Pawan Kumar Chandana and Naga Bharath Daka are two friends who started a company called Skyroot Aerospace.

They wanted to make space travel easier and more affordable.

They built a rocket named Vikram-1, which successfully reached orbit on its first try.

This is a big deal because rockets often fail on their first launch.

The journey was tough, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, but they had a great team and supportive families.

Now, they want to build even bigger rockets that can be used again and again, making space travel more common and sustainable.
