Skyroot Aerospace Plans Launch of India's First Private Orbital Rocket Vikram-1
Skyroot Aerospace is preparing to launch Vikram-1, India's first privately developed orbital-class rocket, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota between July 12 and August 4, 2026. The mission, named Aagaman, aims to gather critical in-flight data on propulsion, guidance, and stage separation to validate the rocket's design. Vikram-1, a seven-storey multi-stage vehicle with in-house propulsion, will carry small satellites to low Earth orbit, marking a significant milestone in India's private space sector.
