After hundreds of individual mechanism-level tests, we've successfully completed the system-level test of Vikram-1's pneumatic stage separation system. Our innovative ultra-low shock separation mechanism uses pressurized gas actuation instead of traditional pyrotechnics, ensuring smooth and predictable separations during flight. Vikram-1 replicates the same mechanism for all separation events throughout the flight, and this test significantly boosts our confidence as we approach our maiden orbital launch.
