Skyroot Aerospace närmar sig uppskjutning i omloppsbana med raketen Vikram-1

Rapporterad av AI

Indiens ledande privata rymdföretag är på god väg att genomföra sin första flygning till omloppsbana senare i år. Skyroot Aerospace planerar att skjuta upp farkosten Vikram-1 inom de närmaste månaderna efter att de sista testerna slutförts.

Den indiska regeringen öppnade upp sin rymdsektor för privata företag år 2020, vilket tillåter firmor att bygga och skjuta upp raketer med hjälp av statliga anläggningar. Denna politiska kursändring skedde i kölvattnet av tillväxten inom kommersiella rymdindustrier i USA och Kina. Skyroot, som grundades 2018, har vuxit fram som den mest avancerade aktören i det nya ekosystemet.
