    What's happened to Agnikul's Agnibaan ? It's now been sitting on a launch pad for more than 3 months!

    ,^ Yes very nice to see the revealing of the Skyroot Orbital vehicle. Hope to see the Agnikul launch at least before year- end. A bit disappointed that Skyroot's launch is only taking place in 2024. But delays are the norm as they say.

    Everytime a new message appears here, I am hoping " this has got to be an announcement of a launch from Skyroot or Agnikul." Waiting...Waiting... :)

    I wish they would launch it soon. It has been sitting on the launchpad for 5 weeks.

    Eagerly awaiting the launch of Skyroot's Vikram-1, and Agnikul's Agnibaan. Hoping it's this year i.e before December. The first orbital launch from a private sector company, is going to be amazing, whatever the payload!

    First time hearing of this company. 80 kg satellite to be launched next week on board Space X vehicle. Docked a notch for being a joint venture with a German company. Still, pretty good:)...

    The Rise of India’s Private Space Sector

    It's interesting that there is barely, if any, talk of a competition between Skyroot and Agnikul. Nothing about being in a race to be the first to launch a rocket and/or satellite. And positively no slighting, dismissiveness, denigration of the other, even in a semi-humorous manner. The only...

    Can anyone make a comparison in thrust and payload levels et al, between Skyroot's Vikram, and ISRO's RH-560.

    The Rise of India’s Private Space Sector

    Excuse the ignorance, but will a suborbital flight put something in orbit, though lower and short lived. Or will the payloads just go up, obtain some info( about the atmosphere, for example) and come down again. Something like a sounding rocket?

    Amazing- and I was just about to write that while all this developmental testing is wonderful, when are we going to see an actual launch! Shouldn't get behind myself!
