Startup Skyroot Aerospace has successfully launched India’s first privately developed orbital-class rocket, Vikram-1.A key feature is its all-carbon composite structure, which makes it significantly lighter and more efficient than traditional rockets. Its upper stage is powered by a 3D-printed engine — a first for an Indian rocket.
The fully indigenous, multi-stage rocket is designed to carry small satellites into low-Earth orbit, marking a major step for India's commercial space ambitions.
