TakeMe2Space's PowerBank-50 Battery Space-Proven on Skyroot's Vikram-1 Launch
Hyderabad-based startup TakeMe2Space announced that its PowerBank-50 satellite battery pack successfully completed its first mission aboard Skyroot Aerospace's Vikram-1 rocket, India's first privately developed orbital launch vehicle. The PowerBank-50 powered Cosmoserve Space's experimental payload at 450 km altitude, performing reliably through launch stresses and space conditions. This achievement marks the battery as space-proven and made in India, offering a domestic alternative for satellite builders amid India's growing small-satellite sector.
