Launch Vehicles
Vikram
Vikram — named after Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, founder of the Indian Space Program — is a series of modular Space launch vehicles especially crafted for the small satellite market. More than 20,000 small satellites are estimated to be launched in the coming decade, and Vikram series is designed to enable this through unprecedented mass producibility and affordability.
The leading technology architecture of Vikram vehicles offers unique capabilities like multi-orbit insertion, interplanetary missions; while providing customized, dedicated and rideshare options covering a wide spectrum of small satellite customer needs. Launching satellites to space will soon become as easy as booking a cab — Quick, precise and affordable!
