🔥 Skyroot's Vikram-1 Mission Milestone: Kalam-100 Static Fire Test A Success! 🚀 The third stage of our Vikram-1 launch vehicle, Kalam-100 roared to life for over 102-seconds – equipped with an advanced flex nozzle for precise thrust vector control. The latest test builds on the success of the previous fixed-nozzle static fire test. Kalam-100 generates a peak vacuum thrust of 100kN at an operating area ratio of 60 in flight. This is a success engineered by many – people and computers: * Our passionate teams at Skyroot * In-house developed Automatic Launch Computer and a suite of Vikram-1 flight avionics, including our Mission Computer, to emulate flight conditions and test as we fly * Cutting-edge sensors to capture 150+ data channels * And invaluable partners at Solar Group who provided both casting and test bed support One giant leap toward orbit!

Solar Defence and Aerospace Limited (SDAL), a Solar Group company, successfully developed and test-fired the third stage Rocket Motor with flex nozzle-based Thrust Vector Control for the VIKRAM-1 Satellite Launch Vehicle. With 2400 kg propellant mass and 75,000 N thrust, the motor passed all quality checks and was fired at SDAL’s in-house test facility. This marks a major milestone in SDAL’s growing role in India’s space and defence ecosystem.

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

How to Seal the Deal in Rocket Engineering 🚀 Before our Kalam-1200 rocket stage can unleash its full, fiery thrust, it starts off sealed shut. This special cap — called a nozzle closure — locks in the gases to build just the right chamber pressure to initiate uniform and stable combustion. Then, in a split-second precision, it’s blasted away, clearing the path for the booster to roar to life. 🔥 Watch the breathtaking moment of closure ejection in 1500 fps and see how our team sealed the deal to fire India's largest private rocket stage!

Archimedes second stage engine full duration burn - complete ✅ (and what a thing of beauty). The AVac (Archimedes Vacuum) engine produces 1.2x lbf of its Stage 1 variant and stands ~2.5m taller thanks to its extended nozzle optimized for the vacuum conditions of space. Recent AVac testing included a stub skirt for the nozzle. Since full length vacuum nozzles at ground level risk flow separation and instability, stub skirts are used to anchor our engineers' analysis for how the engine will perform with the full nozzle in vacuum conditions - all critical preparation for Neutron's first flight.

$Almost no one talks about height control. This clip shows why it matters. A capacitive sensor on the cutting head keeps the nozzle only fractions of a millimeter above the metal sheet, even when the sheet is warped or vibrating. That tiny distance is everything for a clean cut. The setup here: ✅ Kimla laser system ✅ Precitec cutting head ✅ Capacitive sensing for real-time height control ✅ Stable gap over uneven or bent sheets If the nozzle drifts even slightly, you lose cut quality, speed, and consistency. This is the part of laser systems that most people never think about, but it is what makes the difference between “it works” and “this is production ready.” Have you ever had to keep the nozzle as close as possible without risking a crash?

🇷🇺 Russia’s Yakovlev makes another fully domestic passenger plane, a Yakovlev MC-21. These planes were developed with many Russian parts pre 2022, but now Yak reworked the model and swapped everything for Russian parts. The aircraft had its imported components and systems replaced with Russian ones. The procedure of swapping every part of a plane for domestic components is extremely complex, as this has not been done before. Usually you iterate on a plane part by part, not doing such a big bang change. This procedure includes replacement of the cockpit controls, control system drives, wing mechanization movement system and stabilizer adjustment mechanism, avionics complex, integrated air conditioning system, integrated system for collecting, monitoring, processing, and recording flight information, wheel braking system, main and auxiliary power units, fuel system, wheels, tires, and more. The plant workers, together with specialists from the flight test and refinement complex of PJSC "Yakovlev," are checking the fuel system, start-up and operation of the auxiliary power unit and main engines, as well as testing of the aircraft's systems and equipment with the engines running. Frequency tests of the landing gear systems and integrated control system were also carried out on the aircraft. 1/

When Vikram-1 reaches space, the payload fairing needs to split apart and fall away cleanly, protecting the satellite on the way up, then getting out of the way when its job is done. The final pre-flight separation test on flight hardware confirms the pneumatic separation system is a stable, proven design. Next stop: Sriharikota. 🚀 #Vikram1 #SkyrootAerospace #SpaceTech
