What is Vikram-I? The seven-storey rocket that can be assembled in 24 hours appeared on www.indiatoday.in by India Today Science Desk.

Skyroot Aerospace, an Indian startup aerospace company, has unveiled its latest creation, Vikram-I, a seven-storey-high multi-stage rocket with orbital satellite deployment capabilities.

This marks a significant milestone in India’s space sector, as Vikram-I is among the few private rockets globally that possess such advanced capabilities.

WHAT IS VIKRAM-I?

Vikram-I is a technological marvel, designed to carry payloads of around 300 kg to Low Earth Orbit (LEO). It boasts an all-carbon-fiber body, a feature that sets it apart from other rockets in its class.

The Vikrams series is named for Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, founder of the Indian Space Program, and is in development to capture the multi-million-dollar small satellite launch market. The rockets are developed with the aim of providing multi-orbit insertion and interplanetary mission capability to not just India but also foreign customers.

This lightweight yet robust material allows the rocket to withstand the harsh conditions of space travel while maintaining optimal performance.

One of the most notable features of Vikram-I is its ability to place multiple satellites into orbit simultaneously. This capability is a first for India’s space sector and places the country among the global leaders in satellite deployment technology.

The rocket also features 3D-printed liquid engines, a testament to Skyroot Aerospace’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology in its designs.

Skyroot has said that the launch vehicle’s orbital adjustment module with re-start capability enables multi-orbit insertions.

The company claims that it can be assembled and launched within 24 hours from any launch site.

WHEN WILL VIKRAM-I LAUNCH?

The launch of Vikram-I is planned for early 2024, marking it as Skyroot’s second rocket launch following the successful deployment of the Vikram-S rocket on November 18, 2022.

The Vikram-S launch was a historic event for the Indian space sector, marking the first such mission by a private company in the country.

In addition to unveiling Vikram-I, Skyroot Aerospace also inaugurated its new headquarters, named ‘The MAX-Q Campus’. Located at the GMR Aerospace and Industrial Park in South Hyderabad, the facility spans 60,000 sq ft and is touted as the country’s largest private rocket development facility under one roof.

The MAX-Q Campus houses integrated design, manufacturing, and testing facilities for building space launch vehicles, providing a comprehensive solution for the company’s ambitious space exploration plans.
