Named 'Kalam-100' after former president and the renowned Indian rocket scientist A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the third stage of Vikram-I produces a peak vacuum thrust of 100 kN (or ~10 Tons) and has a burn time of 108 sec. The rocket stage has been built with high-strength carbon fiber structure, solid fuel, novel thermal protection system, and carbon ...

This rocket was launched on October 9, 1971, from Sriharikota. It was a single-stage rocket using a solid propellant, [7] carrying a 7 kilograms (15 lb) payload to 19 kilometres (12 mi) in altitude. It flew twice between January 1970 and October 1971.
Launched 10 days after the successful landing of ISRO's Moon mission, Chandrayaan-3, this mission carried the Aditya-L1 Mission satellite, the first Indian satellite dedicated to studying the Sun. Launch was successful and achieved its intended orbit nearly an hour later, and separated from its fourth stage. [37]
Lagrange points in the Sun–Earth system (not to scale) – a small object at any one of the five points will hold its relative position. The mission took 126 Earth days after launch to reach the halo orbit around the L1 point, which is about 1,500,000 km (930,000 mi) from Earth. [ 25 ]
BY NUMBERS: Latest Falcon 9 mission passed the previous milestone of 96 launches in a single year, while also equalling the record for the most number of launches for a single rocket, writes ...
This system is designed to quickly get the crew and spacecraft away from the rocket in the event of a potential failure. The technology developed is expected to be applied to the first Indian crewed spacecraft Gaganyaan, scheduled to be launched no earlier than 2024.
