Space Wrap: Historic Vikram-1 launch puts Indian spaceflight back on track

The Vikram-1 rocket launched from Sriharikota on July 18, marking India’s first private orbital flight. Developed by Skyroot Aerospace, the mission successfully placed satellites into orbit. This achievement followed a long gap after the January 12, 2026, PSLV-C62 failure. Now, IN-SPACe has issued new guidelines for the re-entry of space objects.
