Skyroot plans to offer ‘hail rocket’ model

Deccan Chronicle  

The company is running final tests on its systems, including static fires, separation trials, and pressure tests across multiple locations in India. "The experience we are bringing to the space launch industry is like a cab service: Satellite operators can book a launch as and when they need it, and we will get them to their exact destination in space," said Pawan Kumar Chandana, CEO and co-founder of Skyroot Aerospace. The company has also conducted static fires of Stage-2 and Stage-3 solid motors, validated the upper-stage liquid engine Raman-II, and completed reaction control system tests. There are a few major tests that we are looking forward to in the coming weeks and months, including the payload separation test and Stage-1 static fire test," Chandana said. This ecosystem of industries and technical talent has been instrumental in scaling up Skyroot Aerospace from a small set-up in 2018 to now establishing multiple state-of-the-art rocket factories in Hyderabad," Chandana said.
