Hyderabad's Skyroot Aerospace successfully test-fired Stage-2 of Vikram-1 orbital rocket at Sriharikota.

Hyderabad-based space-tech company Skyroot Aerospace has successfully test-fired the Stage-2 of Vikram-1 orbital rocket, called Kalam-250, at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. Vikram-1 launch is a significant event for the Indian space sector as its first private orbital rocket launch, following Skyroot's suborbital space launch of India's first private rocket, Vikram-S, in November 2022. The test-firing of Stage-2 is crucial for the company and India's private space sector, as it propels the satellites from Earth's dense atmosphere to the deep vacuum of outer space.
