Mission Aagaman: Vikram-1, India’s first privately-developed orbital rocket, soaring from Sriharikota’s SDSC-SHAR launchpad into history.
To Pawan Kumar Chandana and Naga Bharath Daka, the co-founders of Skyroot Aerospace, team Manastu Space cheers and salutes your journey.
You didn’t just launch a rocket (not to forget, in the first go) you gave a solid proof to a dream. The dream of Vikram Sarabhai, who imagined an India that would reach the stars on its own terms.
For years, the space-startup ecosystem in India ran on belief alone. Yesterday, that belief thrusted into space as a launch vehicle. You have given every founder in this country the most valuable thing of all, credibility and strength.
The world is watching India differently today because of what you did.
At Manastu Space, we have always believed this ecosystem is one home with many rooms. And a home does not rise when each room looks after only itself, it rises when every one of us carries the whole house forward, together.
To the payload partners who trusted this maiden flight; Grahaa Space, Cosmoserve Space, Dcubed, Cosmos Diamonds, and Skyroot’s own SCOPE technology-demonstration satellite with the special miniature sculpture-art carrying our space legends into orbit, congratulations!
To Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji, thank you! You opened doors that never existed, and gave Indian space-startups a reason to create revolution in orbit, not just on paper, but serves the golden words of ‘Vande Maatram’ in space.
To Isro HQ Indian Space Research Organisation, your guiding hand steadies every one of us. To IN-SPACe, NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), and the Department of Space, we are forever grateful to you for laying the foundation stones and taking care of us, on which this entire generation of spacekind now builds and is set to thrive.
This is not the sky as the limit.
This is the sky as the beginning, with the sun shining bright on us all.
जय हिंद. 🇮🇳🚀
