Skyroot Aerospace Aims to Build Spaceflight as Reliable and Affordable as Air-flight
Skyroot Aerospace is established by engineers of the rocket design center of ISRO. This Indian startup is founded by Pawan Kumar Chandana and Naga Bharath Daka.

Team Skyroot By providing minimal cost and high flexibility, they launched the VIKRAM series. With a vision to provide spaceflight as affordable and reliable as air flight, they established this unit. According to reports, they are expected to launch their first rocket by the end of 2021.

VIKRAM Series
Vikram, named after the great Indian Space Scientist, Dr. Vikram Sarabhai. Under the VIKRAM series, three launch vehicles are crafted, VIKRAM I, VIKRAM II, and VIKRAM III. With 3-D printed engines this private venture is all set to launch satellites at the lowest cost. According to Skyroot, VIKRAM requires a minimal range of infrastructure. VIKRAM can be assembled and launched within 24 hours from any launch site. And, VIKRAM II and VIKRAM III can be assembled and launched within 72 hours from any launch site.

The series builds on a common architecture, covering a wide range of payloads from 225 kg to 720 kg.

Vision of Skyroot
Skyroot started with a vision to build technologies for responsive, reliable, and economic access to space. This 2018’s startup comes in the eyes as it is going to get an investment of 90 crores by mid-2021. Currently, it has raised the investment by 31.5 crores.

Sooner, it will occupy the larger pie of the global satellite launch market after the success of the VIKRAM series.

Startups Inspiring the Nation
Along with Skyroot Aerospace, Bengaluru based Bellatrix and Chennai based Agnikul Cosmos are the major private players. They not only build powerful systems but provide the launch vehicles at a reasonable cost. As the Indian government allows space sectors for private companies, these entrepreneurs chunked the revenue. And, will continue to get their pie.
