    08 November 2022, Hyderabad: India’s first privately developed rocket (Vikram-S) is poised to
    create history as it undergoes final launch preparations at the ISRO’s launchpad in Sriharikota.
    The mission named ‘Prarambh’, meaning ‘the beginning’, signifying a new era for the private
    space sector in India and the first mission for Skyroot, was unveiled by ISRO Chairman, Dr. S.
    Somanath in Bangalore on November 7, 2022 after the technical launch clearance from the
    Space regulator IN-SPACe. A launch window between November 12 and 16 has been notified
    by authorities, the final date being confirmed based on weather conditions.
    With this maiden mission, Skyroot Aerospace is set to become the first private space company
    in India to launch a rocket into space, heralding a new era for the space sector which was
    recently opened up to facilitate private sector participation. Skyroot, a two-time national award
    winner, incidentally is the first Indian startup to sign the MoU with ISRO in this regard.
    The CEO and Co-Founder of Skyroot Aerospace, Pawan Kumar Chandana, reflected on this
    goal. “We could build and get our Vikram-S rocket mission-ready in such a short time only
    because of the invaluable support we received from ISRO and IN-SPACe, and the technology
    talent that we inherently possess. We are proud to announce our pathbreaking mission
    ‘Prarambh’ dedicated to the Indian private space sector, which has hugely benefited from the
    reforms that were guided by the government of India and its vision”
    Skyroot’s launch vehicles are named ‘Vikram’ as a tribute to the founder of the Indian Space
    programme and renowned scientist Dr. Vikram Sarabhai.
    Naga Bharath Daka, COO and Co-Founder of Skyroot Aerospace said “The Vikram-S rocket
    getting launched is a single-stage sub-orbital launch vehicle which would carry three customer
    payloads and help test and validate majority of the technologies in the Vikram series of space
    launch vehicles. We are utilizing the world-class launch infrastructure at ISRO’s spaceport in
    Sriharikota for the launch”.
