A Skyroot Aerospace Vikram I rocket will launch on its first test flight. It will attempt to carry four CubeSats, two hosted payloads and two ornamental payloads to orbit.

Grahaa Space is developing a nano satellite constellation for Earth observation. Hosted payloads are Embrace, which is a robotic-arm tech demonstrator. It is developed by Hyderabad-based Cosmoserve Space for active space debris removal applications. The other hosted payload package is uD3PP & mD3RN by DCUBED Space. The mission is named "Aagaman" by Skyroot. The four stage Vikram I rocket uses three solid stages (Kalam 1200, 250, 100) and a hypergolic fueled upper stage propelled by a Raman-2 engine. - Delayed from February, Q2 2024, September and February.
