Diamonds and 'cab to orbit': Rocket aiming to transform India's space ambitions takes off
Indian private rocket company Skyroot Aerospace successfully launched its Vikram-1 rocket into orbit, carrying six payloads including scientific instruments and symbolic tributes to India's space pioneers. The achievement makes India the third country with a private company capable of orbital launches, and Skyroot aims to revolutionise satellite access by offering flexible, dedicated launch services rather than waiting for shared rides on large rockets.
