Getting to orbit is one of humanity’s toughest engineering challenges.
As Vikram-1 undergoes final integration and testing at Sriharikota now, here’s a glimpse into the journey behind India’s first private orbital rocket. 🇮🇳🚀
Journey to Orbit — rolling soon. 🚀

This is the story of building Vikram-1 and the preparations for its maiden flight. Every system built, every test run, every major decision until the final countdown at the launchpad, documented. #SkyrootAerospace #Vikram1 #JourneyToOrbit

Today, 15th May, I shall be in Puttaparthi (Andhra Pradesh). I will attend the Foundation Stone Laying and Grounding Ceremonies of major aerospace and defence projects including Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft Integration & Flight Testing Centre, Naval Systems Facility, Defence Energetics, Ammunition Plants and Drone City. Looking forward.

small doubt — GISAT vs OptoSAR, what’s the practical difference? GISAT is more about continuous watch from GEO, and OptoSAR is more about better clarity + all-weather imaging from LEO, right?
Radha Krishna Kavuluru@iamkrishradha
EOS-05 is about to launch soon. Also called GISAT-1A is India’s adventure into Geospatial High Resolution imaging. Most EO satellites are stationed around 500km, but the upcoming GISAT (Geostationary Imaging SAT) will be stationed at 36000km from earth, continuously looking at India. This satellite carries a HUGE telescope with it, which enables the high resolution imaging capability and can look at earth with a resolution of ~40m. Just 15 years back we had Resourcesat-2 satellite with a 56m resolution in LEO. Now we are doing better than that in GEO. We have come quite far. But we are late. Our previous version of this satellite was delayed by many years(with many controversies) and eventually when launched, the launch failed. China and US are well ahead of us in the capabilities here. What kind of applications this enables? Think tracking any missile launches in live. Tracking floods in live. This is persistent earth observation. In LEO we need hundreds of satellites for achieving persistance. In GEO you need one. But because of small swath, here the persistance is being talked about in the order of 3-5 minutes. Incredible mission. Launch is planned soon. Fingers crossed and waiting for success.

This year, in numbers, there will be more...

Which trick did Pakistan use to defeat India despite their smaller economies?

@Ftsatya33 And a full rotation is 360° so if we divide it by 120 we will get 3 degree a Sec.

How can we know that it's tumbling at the rate of 3°/sec
Astro_Neel@Astro_Neel
Hello? So are we all going to just casually ignore the fact that in the publicly available open-source data, anyone can see that Drishti is still tumbling in orbit at the rate of ~3°/sec (or one rotation every two minutes) ever since it was deployed? network.satnogs.org/observations/1…

Hyderabad-based Azista Aerospace used its 80-kg AFR satellite to image the ISS from 245–300 km, marking India’s first private-sector in-orbit surveillance capability. Firm is developing a 2027 constellation with 500-km swath and onboard edge computing for defence and SSA use cases.

A year ago, our armed forces displayed unparalleled courage, precision and resolve during #OperationSindoor. They gave a fitting response to those who dared to attack innocent Indians at Pahalgam. The entire nation salutes our forces for their valour.
Operation Sindoor reflected India’s firm response against terrorism and an unwavering commitment to safeguarding national security. It also highlighted the professionalism, preparedness and coordinated strength of our armed forces. At the same time, it showcased the growing jointness among our forces and underlined the strength that India’s quest for self-reliance in the defence sector has brought to our national security.
Today, a year later, we remain as steadfast as ever in our resolve to defeat terrorism and destroy its enabling ecosystem.

Skyroot Aerospace has raised $60 million at a valuation of $1.1 billion.
Vikram-1, India's first privately developed orbital rocket, is weeks from its maiden flight. This capital will go toward scaling launch cadence for Vikram-1, expanding manufacturing, and developing Vikram-2 — a 1-tonne class vehicle with an advanced cryogenic upper stage.
We started with a conviction: satellite operators worldwide deserve reliable, affordable, dedicated access to orbit. Vikram-S proved the technology in 2022. Vikram-1 takes it to orbit.
Thank you to every investor, partner, and team member who has been part of building this.
