Skyroot Aerospace launched its Vikram-1 rocket on Saturday from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, injecting four payloads into a 450 km orbit and establishing India as the third country with demonstrated private orbital launch capability. The 400-person team, founded in 2018 by Pawan Kumar Chandana and Naga Bharath Daka, received a post-launch call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who referred to the mission as Mission Aagaman. Reporting from Times of India and Hindustan Times agrees on core technical and timeline details while differing on team age statements.
