The Vikram-1 vehicle is fully stacked at India’s First Launch Pad.
Skyroot Aerospace announced Vikram-1 Test Flight-1, Mission Aagaman, as India’s first private orbital rocket launch.
Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 is planned to launch from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
Skyroot Aerospace said the Vikram 1 integration work included the flex nozzle, actuators, and the Interstage 1_2L and Interstage 1_2U structures.
Vikram 1 is India’s first privately built orbital rocket.
Vikram 1 is designed to serve the small-satellite market.
Vikram 1 is Skyroot Aerospace’s flagship launch vehicle.
Skyroot Aerospace said Vikram 1’s Kalam-250 second stage was fully integrated at SHAR, the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.
Skyroot Aerospace is scheduled to conduct the maiden flight of its Vikram-1 rocket by May.
Skyroot Aerospace is developing two launch vehicles, Vikram-1 and Vikram-2.
Vikram-2 is designed to be more cost-effective for larger satellites and more competitive for rideshare missions compared with Vikram-1.
Skyroot Aerospace configures Vikram-1 to provide on-demand dedicated launches for small satellite operators.
Skyroot Aerospace is targeting the debut launch of its Vikram-1 rocket in April 2026.
Vikram-1 is targeted for a debut launch in April of this year.
Vikram-2 will increase payload capacity to 1100 kg to LEO by using a cryogenic upper stage.
India is expected to field almost 100 government small satellites over the next five to six years that would require SSLV or Vikram-1-class vehicles.
Skyroot Aerospace manufactures most of the Vikram rocket components in-house and outsources selected parts to identified vendors.
Almost 100 Indian government satellites are expected to be procured over the next five to six years, primarily in the small satellite category that could use SSLV or Vikram-1 vehicles.
Vikram-1 has a payload capacity of about 350 kg to Low-Earth Orbit (LEO).
Vikram-1 has a payload capacity of about 350 kg to Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
