A Surat-based jewellery company has claimed that its lotus-shaped lab-grown diamond design is now travelling in space aboard Skyroot Aerospace's Vikram-1 rocket, marking what it says is the first time diamonds from India's diamond city have been sent into orbit.
The claim comes after Skyroot Aerospace successfully launched Vikram-1, India's first privately developed orbital rocket, under Mission Aagaman from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC-SHAR) in Sriharikota.
