Vikram-1: India's first private space rocket by Skyroot to carry diamond flower
Skyroot Aerospace is set to launch its Vikram-1 rocket from India’s Sriharikota launch facility, marking the country’s first private orbital launch. If successful, this will make India the third nation after the US and China to have a private company capable of launching satellites into orbit, with Skyroot aiming to provide dedicated "cab service to space" for satellite deployment. The mission includes deploying scientific instruments, space debris removal technology, and symbolic payloads such as a diamond lotus and micro-sculptures honoring Indian scientists. This launch represents a major milestone in India’s growing private space industry and is part of Skyroot’s broader goal to offer affordable and flexible launch services for global satellite operators.
