Explanation

Vikram-S is India's first privately developed rocket, successfully launched by ISRO on November 18, 2022, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. The rocket was developed by Skyroot Aerospace, a Hyderabad-based space startup, under the mission named 'Prarambh' (The Beginning).

  • Vikram-S: It is a single-stage sub-orbital launch vehicle named as a tribute to Vikram Sarabhai, the father of the Indian space program.
  • Mission Prarambh: This mission carried three customer payloads into space, reaching an altitude of about 89.5 km.
  • Significance: The launch was facilitated by IN-SPACe (Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre), marking a historic milestone as the first time a private entity designed and operated a rocket in India, ending the state monopoly in the space sector.
