Isro to launch private rocket

The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is all set to make history tomorrow when it will launch the first-ever private rocket, setting a new milestone in the 75-year journey of independent India.

Union Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh said that this will be a major milestone in the journey of Isro, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi had unlocked the space sector in India two years ago for private participation.

This will also be the maiden mission of Skyroot Aerospace, named ‘Prarambh’. It will carry a total of three payloads into space.
