Taking mini to the max! ๐Ÿš€ Raman Mini thrusters for Vikram-1 came out all chambers blazing during the flight qualification. With the performance now proven, these 50N thrusters are ready to be integrated into the vehicleโ€™s Orbital Adjustment Module, and provide pitch/yaw control

Clean separation, smooth execution!โœจ Our team just nailed the stage separation test of Vikram-1. The ultra-low shock pneumatic separation system we developed in-house worked like a charm, smoothly separating Stage 2 from Stage 3 โ€” in another boost to our journey to orbit! ๐Ÿš€

Weโ€™re now ISO 9001 & AS9100D certified! โœ… This milestone underscores our steadfast dedication to world-class quality and global aerospace standards at every step of designing, manufacturing, and powering our space vehicles. Because in space, only excellence takes flight.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Vikram-1's retro motors successfully completed the developmental tests! The smallest solid motors on the vehicle they're vital for clean separation of Stage 1. Six firings confirm they are hitting all target thrust and differential delay specs for a smooth jettison. ๐Ÿš€

Our Avionics modules are ready for lift-off! ๐Ÿš€ The suite of in-house developed modules were tested on every signal path for the minutest glitch. They've now been promoted from the lab bench to launch rail โ€” ready to run Vikram-1 autonomously to orbit!

With maiden flight in sight, our team is busy wrapping Vikram-1's composite interstages with cork sheets. Yes, corkโ€”the same base material inside cricket balls. ๐Ÿ But why cork on a rocket? Spoiler: It's not for bounce. Watch how this natural wonder finds its place in the world
