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,... show more

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

Clean separation, smooth execution!✨ Our team just nailed the stage separation test of Vikram-1. The ultra-low shock pneumatic separation system we developed in-house worked like a charm, smoothly separating Stage 2 from Stage 3 — in another boost to our journey to orbit! 🚀 #Vikram1 #JourneytoOrbit #SpaceTech #RocketScience #DeepTech

🛡️🛰️ The payload fairing (PLF) shields satellites from atmospheric fury during a rocket's ascent. But once we hit the vacuum of space, this massive structure must execute a flawless separation as Vikram-1 continues its journey to orbit. ✅ After countless iterations and tireless work, our team has successfully validated the system! The PLF separation mechanism is now ready for launch. 🚀✨

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

Successful stage separation test campaign ✅ We're validating stage separation for Neutron, one of the most novel rocket separation systems ever designed. From sep system design, component testing and qualification, GSE design, manufacturing, commissioning, and operations planning through to test execution - we're proving out the technology behind one of Neutron's most critical events for mission success. Up next: moving into intentional off-nominal separation events with non-flight test articles to further push the system's resilience.

Exactly 24 hours ago, a rocket lifted off. Today, a billion+ dreams have taken flight. 🇮🇳🚀 Reliving the launch—from lift-off to satellite separation. Reaching orbit on the very first attempt of a new launch vehicle is an incredibly rare feat globally. The world now has a new launch vehicle. From India, for the world. 🚀 #Vikram1 #MissionAagaman

🚀🇮🇳 A call after a historic milestone! Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Skyroot Aerospace over a telephone call after Vikram-1, India's first privately developed orbital-class rocket, successfully reached orbit following its launch from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The rocket completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a 450-km Low Earth Orbit, making India only the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability. Skyroot Aerospace Co-founder & CEO Pawan Kumar Chandana received the Prime Minister's congratulatory call following the landmark achievement. #Vikram1 #SkyrootAerospace #PMModi #IndiaInSpace #SpaceTech #ISRO #INSPACe

South Korea has successfully completed the first fully successful flight test of the KALCM Cheonryong (Korean Air-Launched Cruise Missile), which is expected to become the primary long-range strike weapon of the future KF-21 Boramae multirole fighter. On June 25, the missile was launched for the first time from an FA-50 light combat aircraft. After separation, it successfully ignited its main engine, stabilized its flight, and completed the entire test profile as planned. The successful flight comes after two unsuccessful attempts in January and March, when the missiles crashed into the sea due to failures in the ignition of the main propulsion engine following launch.

STARSHIP FLIGHT 13: WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEK SpaceX is targeting Thursday, July 16 for Starship Flight 13 — the second flight of the upgraded V3 vehicle. Here’s what we’re expecting on this test flight: • Second flight of the new V3 Starship and Super Heavy booster, incorporating upgrades and lessons from Flight 12 • First test deployment of next-generation Starlink V3 satellites • Continued evaluation of the improved heat shield and reentry performance • Controlled splashdown of the upper stage in the Indian Ocean • Further testing of the new launch infrastructure at Starbase This flight is primarily focused on validating the V3 design and building operational confidence. A booster catch attempt is not expected on Flight 13, but it remains a strong possibility for Flight 14 if this mission goes well. Overall, Flight 13 is another step toward increasing launch cadence and proving out Starship’s reusability at scale. The long-term goal remains clear: dramatically lower the cost of getting mass to orbit
