Private rocket launch 2022
Private rocket launch 2022 :- There has been another increase in India’s military power. For the first time in India, private space company’s rocket ‘Vikram S’ was successfully launched on Friday. This private rocket of Hyderabad-based space startup Skyroot Aerospace was launched from the Sriharikota launch pad in Andhra Pradesh of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
With this, India has become one of the leading countries of the world in this matter.
This mission was named ‘Prarambh’.
This will take the entry of the private sector in the country’s space industry to a new height.
Private rocket Vikram-S went towards space with a force five times more than the speed of sound.
Three payloads were successfully ejected at an altitude of about 81.5 km.
With this success, the 4-year-old startup Skyroot Aerospace that built it has got a major achievement.
This project started in 2018.
ISRO scientists Pawan Kumar Chandna and Naga Bharat Daka had planned to open their own company related to space science after leaving the job.
There was no private player in India then, so the mission of these two IIT alumni was also under suspicion.
Chandna says that he got interested in rocketry while studying mechanical engineering at IIT Kharagpur.
Chandana had joined ISRO after completing her studies from here.
Chandana worked in ISRO for 6 years. He was posted at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Center in Kerala.
Here he was a part of the GSLV-Mk-3 project. It was in ISRO itself that Chandna met IITian Naga Bharat Daka.
When the tuning of both was good, he left the job and started Skyroot Aerospace in 2018.
With the success of this launch, Skyroot Aerospace has become India’s first private sector company.
Let us inform that in 2020, the Modi government had announced to open the space industry to the private sector.
Vikram-S rocket is named after India’s famous scientist and founder of ISRO, Dr. Vikram Sarabhai.
The name of the mission is ‘Prarambh’ meaning beginning.
An agreement was signed between Skyroot and ISRO for this launch.
Skyroot CEO Chandna says that due to the help of ISRO and IN-SPACe, we have been able to prepare the Vikram-S rocket mission in such a short time.
