Skyroot Aerospace
India's first privately developed orbital launch vehicle — a four-stage solid-fuel rocket built by Skyroot Aerospace.
Vikram-1 is a four-stage, small-satellite launch vehicle developed by Skyroot Aerospace of Hyderabad. Approximately 20 m tall and 1.7 m in diameter, it uses solid propulsion across all stages and can deliver roughly 480 kg to low Earth orbit. Named after Vikram Sarabhai, the rocket made its first orbital flight from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in 2025 — a milestone for India's private space sector.
