Opening Space for All. Successfully launched India’s first privately developed launch vehicle to Space.
Hello, fascinating earth! View from Vikram-S onboard camera via live telemetry captures exhilarating moments of South Asia’s first rocket launch and the beautiful land we live in. As #Prarambh makes history, our sleeves are up for more excitement to come. #OpeningSpaceForAll
With maiden flight in sight, our team is busy wrapping Vikram-1's composite interstages with cork sheets. Yes, cork—the same base material inside cricket balls. 🏏 But why cork on a rocket? Spoiler: It's not for bounce. Watch how this natural wonder finds its place in the world…
🚀 Mission Update! Our Orbital Adjustment Module (OAM) for Vikram-1 has cleared facilities and is heading for a full stage-level test! This in-house developed stage is built to thrive in space's harsh environment, featuring restart capabilities and precise orbital maneuvers that…
To know how far you'll go, you have to start with the first step. ✅ Seven years since that small beginning — loads of excitement and dopamine — we are steadily ascending. The journey is long, the destination beyond the sky, but we are fueled up! 🚀 Here's to everyone who's…
🚀 A small device with an enormous responsibility 🔧 Our in-house developed safety arm for Vikram-1 solid stages, the HMSA, has undergone rigorous environmental testing, and proven its performance during multiple igniter and static fire tests ✅ HMSA is now gearing up for its…
Cork 'n' Roll! 🤘 Fresh off completing the cork thermal protection bonding, our Vikram-1 interstages are now moving out of our Max-Q headquarters for the next phase of critical test activities! 🚀 ⭐ #JourneytoOrbit #Spacetech #RocketScience
🚀 Expert mode: ACTIVATED. We're honored to welcome Dr. S. Somanath, former ISRO Chairman, the driving force behind India’s successful moon landing, and the foremost expert in launch vehicles, as our Honorary Chief Technical Advisor! ✨ Dr. Somanath’s guidance will boost our…
We're thrilled to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with @Axiom_Space to explore collaborative pathways that enhance access to low-Earth orbit (LEO) and advance the future of space exploration. “Enabling greater and equitable access to space is the guiding mantra at Skyroot,”…
🚀 👨🚀 Godspeed, Captain! 🇮🇳 As Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla ascends into history as the first Indian set to dock with the International Space Station, our team in Hyderabad gathers to wish him well on this extraordinary odyssey! 🌟 Group Captain, when you're up there looking…
🚀 Integration of Vikram-1's Orbital Adjustment Module (OAM) is in full swing! With our Raman-2 engine, Raman-mini thruster, cold gas thrusters, and avionics all qualified ✅, the team is now advancing the integration of the OAM, which enables Vikram-1 to deploy multiple…
🛡️🛰️ The payload fairing (PLF) shields satellites from atmospheric fury during a rocket's ascent. But once we hit the vacuum of space, this massive structure must execute a flawless separation as Vikram-1 continues its journey to orbit. ✅ After countless iterations and tireless…
Our Avionics modules are ready for lift-off! 🚀 The suite of in-house developed modules were tested on every signal path for the minutest glitch. They've now been promoted from the lab bench to launch rail — ready to run Vikram-1 autonomously to orbit!
When progress is at rocket speed 🚀 With our retro motors and stage separation system successfully validated, flight integration trials of Interstage between stage 1 and 2 is in full swing.
🔥 Vikram-1's retro motors successfully completed the developmental tests! The smallest solid motors on the vehicle they're vital for clean separation of Stage 1. Six firings confirm they are hitting all target thrust and differential delay specs for a smooth jettison. 🚀
Why use carbon fibre? Why 3D printing? What's the purpose of a cleanroom? 🔍 Our brilliant young guests from secondary schools across India, visiting through ISRO's Yuvika program, were captivated by every aspect of rocket engineering and manufacturing. It was an honor to play a…
We’re now ISO 9001 & AS9100D certified! ✅ This milestone underscores our steadfast dedication to world-class quality and global aerospace standards at every step of designing, manufacturing, and powering our space vehicles. Because in space, only excellence takes flight.…
Clean separation, smooth execution!✨ Our team just nailed the stage separation test of Vikram-1. The ultra-low shock pneumatic separation system we developed in-house worked like a charm, smoothly separating Stage 2 from Stage 3 — in another boost to our journey to orbit! 🚀…
Kalam-1200 Structural Rigidity Confirmed! 🚀 Our carbon composite Stage 1 Motor for Vikram-1 — the longest monolithic motor casing developed in India — is seen here with 18 actuators that applied axial load 1.25 times the flight requirement. ✨ Crafted using our proprietary…
