ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀

Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.

History is made. 🇮🇳

Scientist. Engineer. Teacher. President. Bharat Ratna.

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam ignited the minds of students, engineers and entrepreneurs across generations. On his birth anniversary and World Students’ Day in India, we remember the humble visionary our Vikram-1 rocket stages are named after. ‘Kalam-1200’, ‘Kalam-250’ and ‘Kalam-100’ carry his spirit of relentless pursuit of excellence into every test and flight. 🚀

Welcome aboard, @reflectorbital. 🚀 Two dedicated launches on our Vikram rockets will take their future spacecraft to orbit.

Reflect Orbital builds mirrors that orbit Earth and reflect sunlight to chosen spots on the ground. Solar farms can generate power for longer, and rescue teams can find people in the dark.

This is a milestone for India’s private space sector. Just months after Vikram-1 reached orbit on its maiden flight, a US-based company is taking its spacecraft to orbit on rockets built in India. The agreement extends Skyroot’s launch manifest across the Vikram family and gives Reflect Orbital an assured schedule and capacity, alongside its planned launches from the United States.

Building for the world from India. 🇮🇳

Interstage 1_2L has cleared vibration testing for Flight 2.

20 Hz to 2000 Hz, across all three axes: the kind of vibrations it could meet in flight, met on the ground first. 🚀

Proud to see our Co-founder & CEO, @PawanKChandana, named to @TIME’s 2026 TIME100 Next — celebrating the world’s most influential rising stars.

From an ISRO engineer with a belief that India’s private sector could build and launch rockets, to seeing Vikram-1 reach orbit — this recognition marks an extraordinary journey.

From India, for the world. 🇮🇳🚀
