Despite 35 Minute Delay, Vikram 1 Keeps Date with Indian Space History with Mission Aagaman Success The recent success of Skyroot Aerospace's Vikram 1 rocket, which placed six payloads into orbit after a 35 minute delay, marks a significant milestone in India's transition to private led space exploration.
The achievement puts India alongside the US and China as one of the few countries with private orbital launch capabilities.
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has dominated the nation's space program for years, producing impressive results on a shoestring budget.
