Vikram-S, India\u2019s first-ever privately developed rocket successfully lifted off from the Sriharikota spaceport on Friday morning.<\/p>\n
The lift-off of the Vikram Suborbital rocket took place at 11:30 am from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota.<\/p>\n
\u201cMission Prarambh is successfully accomplished. Congratulations\u201d tweeted the Indian Space Research Organisation ISRO and tagged @SkyrootA Congratulations India! @INSPACeIND<\/p>\n
The \u2018Prarambh\u2019 mission and the Vikram-S rocket have been developed by Skyroot Aerospace start up in Hyderabad with support from ISRO and IN-SPACe (Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre). The rocket is carrying payloads of two Indian and one international customers into space.<\/p>\n
\u201c89.5 Kms peak altitude achieved. Vikram-S rocket meets all flight parameters. It\u2019s history in the making for India. Keep watching,\u201d Skyroot Aerospace tweeted attaching a YouTube link of the flight<\/p>\n
Union Minister Jitendra Singh, on Friday, arrived at Sriharikota for the grand launch of \u2018Vikram S\u2019.<\/p>\n
Taking to Twitter, Jitendra Singh shared a picture with the team members of Skyroot Aerospace which he captioned, \u201cWith #StartUp Team \u201cSkyroot Aerospace\u201d at #Sriharikota, minutes before the launch of the first ever private Rocket, Vikram-S, named after Vikram Sarabhai, the founding father of India\u2019s Space program. Countdown begins!.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe \u2018Prarambh\u2019 mission and the Vikram-S rocket have been developed by Skyroot Aerospace in Hyderabad with support from ISRO and IN-SPACe (Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre). The rocket is carrying payloads of two Indian and one international customers into space.<\/p>\n
With the groundwork starting around late 2020, Vikram-S has been developed within a record time of two years which is powered by solid fuelled propulsion, cutting edge avionics and all carbon fibre core structure, as per Skyroot Aerospace.<\/p>\n
The Vikram-S will help test and validate the majority of the technologies in the Vikram series of orbital class space launch vehicles, including many sub-systems and technologies that will be tested across the pre-lift off and post-lift off phases of the launch, according to Skyroot Aerospace.<\/p>\n
Vikram S is among one of the first few all-composite space launch vehicles, which is made up of 3D-printed solid thrusters for its spin stability.<\/p>\n
As per Skyroot Aerospace, with a body mass of 545 kgs, length of 6m, and diameter of 0.375 meters, Vikram-S is the quickest and most affordable ride to space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
