On July 18, the Vikram-1 rocket, designed by the Indian company Skyroot Aerospace, lifted off from the Sriharikota base and reached orbit at approximately 450 kilometers altitude in about 15 minutes, carrying satellites and experiments. It is the first rocket built by a private Indian company to successfully complete an orbital mission. Until now, India had relied primarily on its state space agency for missions of this type. With this achievement, India becomes the third country, after the United States and China, to see a domestic private company reach orbit, a significant step in the competition for the small satellite market and the space economy. Only one of the two received outlets covered this topic: the other did not address it, so the information could not be triangulated.
