It&#8217;s special because it has India&#8217;s first rocket engine that was made using 3D printing. They built this facility in just two months. Soon, they&#8217;ll use it to launch India&#8217;s first private spaceflight into orbit. &#8220;We are trying to get the first few launches this year. These would be developmental flights (test launches). Then scale to a commercial launch in 2023,&#8221; Srinath had said during a press interaction, adding, &#8220;There are going to be big breakthroughs in the Indian space industry in the next few years. The gestation period is a bit long, but I think we are already there. The government being upfront is going to encourage a lot of people to give it a shot. ISRO is helpful and it also has the attention of the Prime Minister\u2019s Office.

This achievement is a big step forward for India&#8217;s private space industry. The rocket, which is a single-stage design with a spinning motion and uses solid propellant, can carry a payload weighing about 550 kilograms. It&#8217;s carrying three customer payloads, including one from a customer outside of India. This six-meter-long rocket was built in just two years and features a core structure made entirely of lightweight carbon fiber.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26121\" style=\"width: 611px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26121\" class=\"wp-image-26121 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Skyroot-Aerospace.jpg\" alt=\"Space | Skyroot | Global Indian\" width=\"601\" height=\"451\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 601px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 601\/451;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26121\" class=\" wp-image-26121\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Skyroot-Aerospace.jpg\" alt=\"Space | Skyroot | Global Indian\" width=\"601\" height=\"451\" \/><\/noscript><p id=\"caption-attachment-26121\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pawan Kumar Chandana and Naga Bharath Daka, founders, Skyroot Aerospace<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Two friends, Pawan Kumar Chandana and Naga Bharath Daka, founded a company in Hyderabad.

Speaking about their ambitions and plans, Pawan recently said in an interview, &#8220;2023 is just the beginning of an era of SpaceTech, which would be the next trillion-dollar industry. We are more like a cab to space, where we can offer dedicated rides to required orbits to satellite customers while companies like SpaceX are focused on building very large vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Dhruva Space<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>In 2012, while ISRO was busy with the Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan), a man named Sanjay Nekkanti had a vision. He dreamed of creating India&#8217;s first private satellite and enabling organizations to harness the potential of small satellites. This dream led to the birth of Dhruva Space, India&#8217;s inaugural space technology company. Later, the founder was joined by his friends from BITS-Pilani &#8211; Abhay Egoor, Krishna Teja, and Chaitanya Dora. Fast forward to 2022, the company reached a significant milestone when it successfully deployed its satellite orbital deployer on the PSLV C53 in June, followed by the launch of its two Thybolt satellites on PSLV C54.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26122\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26122\" class=\"wp-image-26122 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dhruva-Space.jpg\" alt=\"Space | Dhruva Space | Global Indian\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/600;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26122\" class=\" wp-image-26122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dhruva-Space.jpg\" alt=\"Space | Dhruva Space | Global Indian\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/noscript><p id=\"caption-attachment-26122\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sanjay Nekkanti, founder, Dhruva Space<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This startup, which operates in both Hyderabad, India, and Graz, Austria, provides versatile satellite platforms that can be customized for various applications. Their goal is to make space access quicker, more dependable, and more affordable. Dhruva Space also offers a comprehensive solution, allowing clients to own and manage space-based assets in one place. Speaking to the press after launching two satellites in November last year, Abhay said, &#8220;We are looking to raise or invest about USD 20 to 25 million over the next two years where this amount of capital would be used to invest and build an infrastructure facility for assembly, integration, and testing of satellites up to 100 kg class. We are exploring setting up the same facility in Hyderabad.

Instead of pursuing a traditional job, they decided to venture into something new. Although their decision might not have had unanimous support at first, the entire nation celebrated when these two young entrepreneurs successfully launched their satellites, named Shakuntala, into a low Earth orbit (LEO) using a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in April 2022. Pixxel continued to make strides in the space industry by launching their second satellite on Isro&#8217;s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) C54 mission.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26123\" style=\"width: 614px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26123\" class=\"wp-image-26123 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Pixxel.jpg\" alt=\"Space | Pixxel | Global Indian\" width=\"604\" height=\"340\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 604px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 604\/340;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26123\" class=\" wp-image-26123\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Pixxel.jpg\" alt=\"Space | Pixxel | Global Indian\" width=\"604\" height=\"340\" \/><\/noscript><p id=\"caption-attachment-26123\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Awais Ahmed and Kshitij Khandelwal, founders, Pixxel<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Giving an insight into their company and its mission, Awais said, &#8220;Our one-line model is to make satellite imagery data useful.

There is Orbital Insight, there are precision agricultural companies and hedge funds that buy this data to extract insights from this. They are going to be our customers. We will be working with banking institutions, agriculture, mining companies, oil and gas companies, and defence organisations.
