Here is the list of five alternatives of plastic bags which you can use and ensure the safety of our environment.
To very good news, a Hyderabad-based private space startup named Skyroot Aerospace, is set to launch India’s first private rocket between 12 and 16 November from the Indian Space Research Organization’s (ISRO) Sriharikota launchpad. The rocket named Vikram-S will be the first space launch vehicle manufactured and operated entirely by a private company in India. Making this the first launch of its kind since the union government opened up the space sector for private industry participation earlier in June 2020. The final date of the launch mission will be confirmed depending on the weather conditions between 12th & 16th November.
Naga Bharath Daka, chief operating officer of Skyroot, confirmed in a statement that the launch mission will be a ‘Suborbital Spaceflight. Typically, a suborbital spaceflight refers to a flight of around 100km from the Earth's surface. Suborbital flights are known to be important for conducting tests on space missions, before final commercial missions take place. Skyroot Aerospace, which has so far raised 68 million dollars, is India’s most funded private space startup, and among the first companies to locally build fully 3D-printed rocket engines, successfully testing the same in November last year.
