Grahaspace`s experimental nano-satellite, "Solaras," is scheduled to be launched tomorrow (July 18) at 11:30 AM IST aboard Skyroot Aerospace`s Vikram-1 launch vehicle from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.

The Solaras satellite has successfully completed all required testing and certification processes and has been integrated into the upper stage of the Vikram-1 rocket. The launch vehicle has already been positioned on the launch pad, with final countdown preparations currently in progress.

If all launch conditions remain favorable, the mission will lift off as scheduled at 11:30 AM IST on July 18, 2026.
