Hyderabad ki space startup Skyroot Aerospace ne USA ki Reflect Orbital ke saath **2** dedicated rocket launches ka contract sign kiya hai. Ye partnership dikhati hai ki kaise Indian firms global space market mein ab bada khel khel rahi hain.
India ka Global Space Market mein Raaj
Hyderabad based space-tech firm Skyroot Aerospace ne ek bada kadam uthaya hai. Unhone US-based startup Reflect Orbital ke saath 2 dedicated launches ka contract sign kiya hai. Halaanki deal ki financial details disclose nahi hui hain, lekin ye Indian private space sector ke liye ek bada milestone hai. Is deal ke under, US firm Skyroot ke Vikram series rockets ka use karke apni satellite infrastructure space mein deploy karegi.
Kya hai Reflect Orbital ka plan?
Reflect Orbital ka concept thoda hatke hai. Ye startup 'orbital mirror technology' par kaam kar rahi hai, jiska maqsad sunlight ko Earth par specific locations par reflect karna hai. Isse solar energy farms ki operational hours badh sakti hain aur emergency situations mein light ka source bhi mil sakta hai. Unhe is kaam ke liye US Federal Communications Commission se clearance bhi mil chuka hai.
Skyroot ki Growth Story
Skyroot Aerospace ab ek Unicorn ban chuki hai, jiska valuation lagbhag $1.1 Billion hai. Former ISRO scientists dwara bani ye company ab Vikram-S se aage badhkar Vikram-1 jaise orbital-capable vehicles par focus kar rahi hai. Global level par small-satellite launches ki demand bahut high hai, aur supply kam, isliye Skyroot jaise players ke liye ye ek bada mauka hai.
Lekin Risk bhi hai!
Space business mein risk hamesha rehta hai. Technical issues, launch delays aur mission failure jaise risks se inkaar nahi kiya ja sakta. Saath hi, cross-border contracts mein international regulations aur export controls ko handle karna bhi ek challenge hota hai. Ab investors ki nazar is baat par hogi ki Skyroot kitni jaldi aur safely ye missions execute kar pati hai.
