ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀
Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.
History is made. 🇮🇳

Behind every milestone are engineers who dared to build what didn’t exist before.
On 18 July 2026, Skyroot’s engineers took India’s private space sector to orbit for the very first time — a moment built over years, one idea, one test and one challenge at a time.
This #EngineersDay, here’s to everyone building from India, for the world. 🇮🇳🚀

Harnessing space for global progress starts with a conversation.
At Bengaluru Space Expo (BSX), our teams have spent the last two days talking through Skyroot's work with customers, partners, and the young space enthusiasts who stopped by Hall 1, Booth G2.
Every question answered is one more person brought into the mission.
Opening Space for All. 🚀

Honoured to have Team Skyroot recognised at the 3rd National Space Day last Sunday by Dr. V. Narayanan, Chairman, @isro and Dr. Pawan Goenka (@GoenkaPk), Chairman, @INSPACeIND.
Vikram-1's maiden flight, Mission Aagaman, India's first private orbital launch, was a success on its first attempt making India one of three nations to have private launch capability. 🇮🇳🚀

Just over a month ago, Vikram-1 reached orbit on its very first flight. 🚀
Today, on #NationalSpaceDay, Stage 1 for our second Vikram-1 is already on its way to the spaceport at Sriharikota — beginning our next journey to orbit.
From one flight to the next.
Onwards & Upwards. 🇮🇳🚀

We asked some of our team members at Skyroot one question this National Space Day: What are you building?
Propulsion. Composites. Structures. Avionics. Guidance & Navigation. Business.
Put together, it’s one answer — a space economy, from India, for the world. 🇮🇳🚀

India’s spacetech sector continues to grow and evolve, strengthened by close collaboration across the ecosystem. 🇮🇳🚀
Always energising to meet Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji. 🇮🇳🚀
Had the opportunity to interact with him again today. His decision to open India’s space sector to private players is what made journeys like @SkyrootA possible—and every interaction with him inspires us to aim higher.
He was keen to know about the global response to Vikram-1’s launch and its impact on India’s space ecosystem.
It was heartening to hear from across the space startup ecosystem how Vikram-1 has sparked greater excitement for space in India, strengthened investor interest, and brought even more global attention to India’s space sector.
A defining time for India’s space journey—and much more to achieve. 🚀🇮🇳

One month ago, Vikram-1 rose from Sriharikota and made history — reaching orbit on its very first attempt.
Years of engineering. One defining flight. A few unforgettable minutes.
Ahead of #NationalSpaceDay, watch the extended cut of the launch webcast — featuring exclusive on-board footage, never-before-seen moments, and the people behind India’s historic flight to orbit. 🚀🇮🇳
Relive #MissionAagaman. This time, from closer than ever before.

A proud moment for all of us at Skyroot. 🇮🇳🚀
In his Independence Day address from the Red Fort, Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi highlighted how a young Indian team built a rocket and successfully reached orbit on its very first attempt.
With 1,000+ Skyrootians and an average age of 28, this recognition belongs to every member of our team.
Thank you, PM @narendramodi, for believing in India’s young innovators.

Thank you sir for your time and encouragement.
Delighted to meet the brilliant team of Malayali engineers from @SkyrootAero, who played pivotal roles in developing India’s historic 'Vikram 1' rocket mission. It is a moment of immense pride for Kerala to see our young tech minds leading crucial domains from electro-mechanical systems and propulsion to fluid control, avionics, and quality assurance at @SkyrootA. Thank you for the thoughtful gifts: a specialized Space Pen and the book 'The Second Orbit' by Shubhanshu Shukla(gagan_shux). Wishing the entire 14-member Malayali team and @SkyrootAero all the success in pushing the frontiers of India's commercial space sector!

Thank you, @iamnagarjuna garu, for celebrating Vikram-1’s successful first flight to orbit with us. 🚀
Hearing you share how you watched the launch glued to the screen with your family—the young boy who once dreamed of becoming a rocket scientist, anxious through the hold and elated at liftoff—made your presence all the more special.
Having you celebrate this milestone with the team meant a great deal.
From India, for the world. 🇮🇳
