Skyroot Aerospace takes a step forward in India's private space race by testing the second stage of its Vikram-1 rocket. This solid-fuel, three-stage rocket is primed for India's inaugural private orbital launch, scheduled for mid-2024. The successful test-fire of the second stage is pivotal, as it thrusts satellites from Earth's dense atmosphere into the expansive vacuum of outer space. Skyroot's achievement underscores the company's commitment to advancing India's space technology and marks a significant milestone in the nation's quest for independent space exploration capabilities.
