Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday congratulated Skyroot Aerospace on the successful launch of Vikram-1, describing it as a defining moment in India’s space journey and saying growing private sector participation is opening new frontiers and accelerating innovation.
In an article on X, PM Modi said he spoke to the Skyroot Aerospace team and congratulated them on the successful launch of Vikram-1.
“I spoke to the Skyroot Aerospace team and congratulated them on the successful launch of Vikram-1. This is a defining moment in India’s space journey. The growing participation of our private sector is opening new frontiers and accelerating innovation. This achievement will encourage countless young people to dream bigger and innovate fearlessly,” PM Modi wrote on X.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah also welcomed the launch, calling it a major milestone for India’s space ambitions.
“India’s space ambition reaches new horizons. Congratulations to @SkyrootA
Aerospace for the successful launch of Vikram-1, India’s first privately developed launch vehicle. A decisive step towards realizing Modi Ji’s vision of making space more accessible, this innovation will further strengthen India’s space sector, elevating its stature as a world leader,” he wrote on X.
Skyroot Aerospace’s Vikram-1-1 test flight has successfully reached orbit, marking the maiden flight of India’s first privately developed orbital-class rocket.
The rocket completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a nearly 450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.
The mission, named “Mission Aagaman”, was executed from the Satish Dhawan Space Center. The 24-meter carbon composite rocket completed all planned flight stages, including stage separations and the firing of its Orbital Adjustment Module (OAM).
The Orbital Adjustment Module fired its 3D-printed liquid engine for the final push to orbit. The module is designed to start, stop and restart in space.
During the Kalam-1200 flight, the solid first stage carried the rocket through the thickest part of the atmosphere before separating cleanly. The payload fairing was then separated, exposing the satellites to space for the first time.
The second stage, Kalam-250, completed its burn and separated, followed by the ignition of Kalam-100, the smallest and highest flying solid stage of Vikram-1.
The solid propulsion phase concluded with the separation of Stage 3, paving the way for the Orbital Adjustment Module to complete the mission.
The Vikram-1 rocket, powered by three solid fuel stages and a liquid orbital tuning module, is designed to deploy payloads of up to 350 kg into a low Earth orbit (LEO) of 450 km.
The maiden flight carried several payloads, including the ‘Diamond Lotus’, a lab-grown diamond by Bangalore-based Cosmos Diamonds.

Among the payloads of the Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 is something truly special: a handwritten postcard of PM Modi with the words ‘Vande Mataram’. It travels through space alongside handwritten messages from the Skyroot team, investors, policymakers and supporters around the world, making the Aagaman Mission a celebration held in many hands and shared by millions.
