Vikram-1 had to be big enough to carry the fuel to reach orbit, and smart enough to shed that weight along the way. Nearly as tall as a 7-storey building, getting something that size to orbit demands precision engineering at every stage of the climb, as much as it demands raw power. This episode is about how the team broke out of that loop and the systems that make it possible. #JourneyToOrbit #Vikram1

Once a solid rocket motor ignites, there is no off switch. It burns to completion. That is what makes solid propulsion one of the most reliable technologies in rocketry. This episode of Journey To Orbit goes inside the solid propulsion systems that power Vikram-1 through Earth's atmosphere. #JourneyToOrbit #Vikram1

Every stage before the OAM was built for raw thrust. The Orbit Adjustment Module is built for control. This episode is about the liquid-powered stage that can start, stop, and restart in space. #JourneyToOrbit #Vikram1

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

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

Vikram-S proved that a private Indian company could build and launch a rocket to space. But suborbital and orbital are different problems entirely. Getting to orbit means building a rocket that can carry satellites and place them precisely around Earth, and that demands a level of engineering complexity that required the team to think anew about every system. #JourneyToOrbit #Vikram1

We’ll be watching this ignition on loop all day. Kalam-1200 — Vikram-1's first stage, named for Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam — roaring to life and lifting Vikram-1 off the pad, on a flight that reached orbit. #Vikram1 #MissionAagaman

Strap in. 🚀 Ride along with Vikram-1 from the rocket’s POV. Earth slips away, stages separate, the darkness of space opens up, and our blue planet comes into view as orbit is achieved. 🎥 Onboard camera footage. #MissionAagamanInAction #Vikram1

🔥 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!

“It is exhilarating to see America slowly return to the center—to a race-neutral, to a fair and equal opportunity system… that is what the founders envisioned and, frankly, that is what the writers and drafters of the Civil Rights Act also envisioned.”

The bill that could quietly change crypto forever dropped recently and isn't making headlines. Forget the Clarity Act for a minute. This is Called the PACE ACT. This will allow real integration of crypto into the US financial system and nobody is talking about it.

“Without avionics, the spaceship doesn’t do very much. It’s the nervous system of the vehicle.” Behind every Virgin Galactic flight lies a symphony of sensors, wiring, and data, transforming thousands of signals into information our pilots can trust. Watch how avionics brings our spacecraft to life in episode 7 of We Build SpaceShips.

“Courts have stopped the president from defacing the Kennedy Center, but they haven’t stopped him from destroying the Kennedy Center. And the larger fight is over the future of the Kennedy Center. And that fight is surrounding Trump’s plan to close it down for two years and then gut it, and then renovate it, however he sees fit, I’m sure with a lot of gold stuff, right? And that fight is still ongoing.” “And what that means is that after July 4th, there is nothing planned at the Kennedy Center. If you look on the website in the calendar, there’s nothing booked. So, he’s effectively killing the Kennedy Center, even though his name’s not going to be on it, by just not booking anything and not putting anybody in charge of it. And that’s a tragedy for the Kennedy Center. And whatever you thought about the Kennedy Center before, for the next period of time, it’s going to be vacant.” “And that’s Trump’s decision. He would rather kill it out of spite because he didn’t get his way than to let it continue even imperfectly in the way it was operating. That’s very sad for the people who care about the Kennedy Center and the programming that was going on there.”

First, a takeover of leadership, then a renaming. Now, the Trump-Kennedy Center is facing canceled performances and a drop in overall ticket sales. Senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown reports on the turmoil at one of the nation’s preeminent arts centers. "The Kennedy Center has always stood for excellence in the arts, was named after President Kennedy. And he believed that the arts were at the center of all of our culture, all of our nation," Doug Varone told Brown after canceling a planned April show at the center by his dance company Doug Varone and Dancers. "Renaming it Donald Trump Center, it seems to go completely against every principle and every mission that the center stands for. I couldn't put myself or my dancers into that building right now," Varone added.
