Skyroot Aerospace

Opening Space for All. Successfully launched India’s first privately developed rocket to orbit.

ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀

Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.

History is made. 🇮🇳

Raman-1 has wrapped its test fire and is ready for Flight 2. 🚀

This is the thruster that controls Vikram-1’s roll, the rotation around the rocket’s long axis, so the vehicle holds its orientation in flight. Here’s the run from the test stand.

Scientist. Engineer. Teacher. President. Bharat Ratna.

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam ignited the minds of students, engineers and entrepreneurs across generations. On his birth anniversary and World Students’ Day in India, we remember the humble visionary our Vikram-1 rocket stages are named after. ‘Kalam-1200’, ‘Kalam-250’ and ‘Kalam-100’ carry his spirit of relentless pursuit of excellence into every test and flight. 🚀

Welcome aboard, @reflectorbital. 🚀 Two dedicated launches on our Vikram rockets will take their future spacecraft to orbit.

Reflect Orbital builds mirrors that orbit Earth and reflect sunlight to chosen spots on the ground. Solar farms can generate power for longer, and rescue teams can find people in the dark.

This is a milestone for India’s private space sector. Just months after Vikram-1 reached orbit on its maiden flight, a US-based company is taking its spacecraft to orbit on rockets built in India. The agreement extends Skyroot’s launch manifest across the Vikram family and gives Reflect Orbital an assured schedule and capacity, alongside its planned launches from the United States.

Building for the world from India. 🇮🇳

@reflectorbital Happy to have you onboard 🚀

Interstage 1_2L has cleared vibration testing for Flight 2.

20 Hz to 2000 Hz, across all three axes: the kind of vibrations it could meet in flight, met on the ground first. 🚀

Proud to see our Co-founder & CEO, @PawanKChandana, named to @TIME’s 2026 TIME100 Next — celebrating the world’s most influential rising stars.

From an ISRO engineer with a belief that India’s private sector could build and launch rockets, to seeing Vikram-1 reach orbit — this recognition marks an extraordinary journey.

From India, for the world. 🇮🇳🚀

Behind every milestone are engineers who dared to build what didn’t exist before.

On 18 July 2026, Skyroot’s engineers took India’s private space sector to orbit for the very first time — a moment built over years, one idea, one test and one challenge at a time.

This #EngineersDay, here’s to everyone building from India, for the world. 🇮🇳🚀

Vikram 1 - Flight 2 is taking shape. 🚀

Interstage 1/2L assembly is now underway — another key piece coming together as we build towards our next launch.

@ashleevance @PawanKChandana Thank you for the visit, Ashlee. 🚀
Hope Vikram-1 made space in your core memory. Door's open whenever you're back this way. 🇮🇳

Harnessing space for global progress starts with a conversation.

At Bengaluru Space Expo (BSX), our teams have spent the last two days talking through Skyroot's work with customers, partners, and the young space enthusiasts who stopped by Hall 1, Booth G2.

Every question answered is one more person brought into the mission.

Opening Space for All. 🚀

Honoured to have Team Skyroot recognised at the 3rd National Space Day last Sunday by Dr. V. Narayanan, Chairman, @isro and Dr. Pawan Goenka (@GoenkaPk), Chairman, @INSPACeIND.

Vikram-1's maiden flight, Mission Aagaman, India's first private orbital launch, was a success on its first attempt making India one of three nations to have private launch capability. 🇮🇳🚀

Just over a month ago, Vikram-1 reached orbit on its very first flight. 🚀

Today, on #NationalSpaceDay, Stage 1 for our second Vikram-1 is already on its way to the spaceport at Sriharikota — beginning our next journey to orbit.

From one flight to the next.
Onwards & Upwards. 🇮🇳🚀

[Skyroot Aerospace @SkyrootA]

We asked some of our team members at Skyroot one question this National Space Day: What are you building?

Propulsion. Composites. Structures. Avionics. Guidance & Navigation. Business.
Put together, it’s one answer — a space economy, from India, for the world. 🇮🇳🚀

India’s spacetech sector continues to grow and evolve, strengthened by close collaboration across the ecosystem. 🇮🇳🚀

[Pawan Chandana @PawanKChandana]

Always energising to meet Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji. 🇮🇳🚀

Had the opportunity to interact with him again today. His decision to open India’s space sector to private players is what made journeys like @SkyrootA possible—and every interaction with him inspires us to aim higher.

He was keen to know about the global response to Vikram-1’s launch and its impact on India’s space ecosystem.

It was heartening to hear from across the space startup ecosystem how Vikram-1 has sparked greater excitement for space in India, strengthened investor interest, and brought even more global attention to India’s space sector.

A defining time for India’s space journey—and much more to achieve. 🚀🇮🇳
