Thank you, Nagarjuna Akkineni garu, for celebrating Vikram-1’s successful first flight to orbit with us. 🚀 Hearing you share how you watched the launch glued to the screen with your family—the young boy who once dreamed of becoming a rocket scientist, anxious through the hold and elated at liftoff—made your presence all the more special. Having you celebrate this milestone with the team meant a great deal. From India, for the world. 🇮🇳

Vikram-1’s spectacular liftoff captured in slow motion 🚀 The instant Vikram-1 cleared the First Launch Pad at Sriharikota — over in a blink at full speed, here frame by frame. Ignition. Plume ballooning off the deck. The first few feet of a rocket bound for orbit. 🎥 High-speed cameras mounted at the pad #Vikram1 #MissionAagamanInAction

Sunrise from orbit. 🌅 This was Vikram-1’s view as the Sun rose behind its Orbital Adjustment Module — moments after India’s first privately developed rocket delivered its payloads to their target orbit on its maiden flight. The dawn of a new space era. Mission Aagaman is a grand success. 🚀🇮🇳 #Vikram1 #MissionAagaman #OpeningSpaceForAll

One of the most meaningful outcomes of Mission Aagaman was the trust our customers and partners placed in us. Vikram-1’s maiden flight successfully deployed Grahaa Space’s SOLARAS satellite and Skyroot’s own SCOPE technology-demonstration satellite, while carrying in-orbit experiments from Cosmoserve Space and DCUBED. The mission also carried Cosmos Diamonds’ Cosmic Bloom diamond, along with micro-artist Ajay Kumar’s extraordinary creations—a microscopic 18K gold rocket and intricate micro-sculptures honouring Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Sir C.V. Raman. A tribute to India’s scientific legacy, carried into space alongside the mission. Here’s to many more missions. 🚀

Before Vikram-1 could leave for Sriharikota, every major system had to qualify on the ground. This episode goes inside that campaign — the Kalam-1200 static fire, stage separation, payload fairing jettison, full OAM qualification, and more. Test after test, Vikram-1 passed. #JourneyToOrbit #Vikram1

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. 🇮🇳🚀 #Vikram1 #SkyrootAerospace #NationalSpaceDay

Vikram-1's Integrated Electrical Test Campaign — Phase 3 of pre-launch testing — is complete. This campaign brought everything together — the vehicle, ground software, and electrical interfaces — running as one system for the first time. Every on-board system had to initialize correctly. Every sensor, actuator, and control element had to respond exactly as commanded. Every team had to work together exactly as they would on launch day. And it did. 🫡 Next stop: Sriharikota.🚀 #Vikram1 #SkyrootAerospace

Vikram-1 has been modeled, simulated, tested, and qualified. And some questions can only be answered in flight. This episiode follows the team to Sriharikota, where the launch campaign is close to completion and with each passing day, Vikram-1 moves one step closer to flight. #JourneyToOrbit #Vikram1 #SkyrootAerospace

A rocket's structure has to be strong enough to survive launch and light enough to reach orbit. This episode is about how the team turned to carbon composites and cork to meet both demands, and what it took to master the manufacturing from the ground up. #JourneyToOrbit #Vikram1
