Skyroot Aerospace is scheduled to conduct the first test flight of Vikram-1 this Saturday, marking the launch of India's inaugural privately developed orbital-class rocket. Standing seven storeys high, the multi-stage vehicle features a structure made entirely of carbon composite and utilizes 3D-printed engines. The rocket is designed to transport small satellites of up to 350 kg into low Earth orbit, with this test mission aiming for an orbit of 450 km at an inclination of 60°.
