The Vikram 1 is a small-lift launch vehicle being developed by Skyroot Aerospace, an Indian startup aerospace company. This launch vehicle has a payload capacity to deliver 225 kg to 500 km SSO or 315 kg to 500 km LEO for launching small satellites.[1][2][3]
Vehicle Description
The Vikram-1 rocket has three solid fuel-powered stages, each with a burn time ranging between 80 and 100 seconds, and the final stage is the Raman engine. The Raman engine is powered by UDMH and NTO liquid fuels, and a cluster of 4 engines would generate 3.4kN thrust.[4]Vikram I is meant to lift 225 kg to 500 km Sun Synchronous Polar Orbit (SSPO) and 315 kg to 45º inclination 500 km Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
