Skyroot Aerospace se aproxima de lançamento orbital com foguete Vikram-1

A principal empresa espacial privada da Índia está a caminho de tentar seu primeiro voo orbital ainda este ano. A Skyroot Aerospace planeja lançar o veículo Vikram-1 nos próximos meses, após concluir os testes finais.

O governo indiano abriu seu setor espacial para empresas privadas em 2020, permitindo que firmas construíssem e lançassem foguetes utilizando instalações estatais. Essa mudança de política seguiu o crescimento das indústrias espaciais comerciais nos Estados Unidos e na China. A Skyroot, fundada em 2018, emergiu como a participante mais avançada no novo ecossistema.
