UARX Space developed Ossie over two and a half years at its Porto do Molle facilities.

UARX Space CEO and cofounder Yanina Hallak Fiorenza says Ossie makes UARX Space an end-to-end space transportation provider.

UARX Space is developing 600-kilogram to 1,000-kilogram platforms whose engineering, manufacturing, and control will remain in Galicia.

Vikram-1 is designed to launch small satellites into 500-kilometer low Earth orbit and sun-synchronous orbit.

AgniKul Cosmos is developing a space-based AI data center planned to launch aboard Agnibaan as soon as 2027.

Vikram-1’s first three stages are solid-propellant stages called Kalam-1200, Kalam-250, and Kalam-100.

Vikram-1 is designed to provide orbital launch services for payloads of up to 480 kilograms.

Kairos’s maiden launch in March 2024 ended in an explosion seconds after liftoff, and its second and third attempts also failed.

AgniKul Cosmos’s suborbital test vehicle used the world’s first flight of a single-piece 3D-printed semi-cryogenic engine.

Skyroot Aerospace was founded in 2018 by former ISRO scientists.

Vikram-1 is India’s first orbital launch vehicle built entirely with an all-carbon composite structure.

AgniKul Cosmos launched its suborbital test vehicle from a privately built launch pad, the first in India.

India has more than 400 space tech startups.

Skyroot Aerospace launched Vikram-1 from ISRO’s launchpad at SHAR in Sriharikota.

India became a spacefaring nation on July 18, 1980, when ISRO launched the SLV-3 rocket and placed Rohini (RS-1) into low Earth orbit.

Each of Vikram-1’s first three stages has a burn time of approximately 80 to 100 seconds.

Mission Aagaman placed six payloads into a 450-kilometer orbit at an inclination of 60 degrees.

Bellatrix Aerospace has discontinued development of Chetak and is focusing more on satellite propulsion technologies.

Skyroot Aerospace launched Vikram-1 on July 18, 2026, and Vikram-1 was India’s first privately developed orbital rocket.

The Orbital Adjustment Module on Vikram-1 is intended to support precise orbital insertion and in-orbit maneuvers after the solid stages finish burning.

About 90 Indian space tech startups have collectively attracted nearly $870 million in investment.

ISRO’s ground networks and Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network assisted Skyroot Aerospace during the Vikram-1 launch.

AgniKul Cosmos established a Large Format Additive Metal Manufacturing facility containing India’s largest 3D metal printer dedicated to rocket components.
