Thought the rocket was falling: Skyroot CEO on 2-minute contact loss with Vikram-1

Skyroot Aerospace CEO Pawan Chandana revealed the tense two minutes during the historic mission when engineers lost communication with the Vikram-1 rocket. "I thought the rocket was falling because altitude wasn't increasing on our display," said Chandana, adding, "We thought something went wrong...but then we realised the graph had become a straight line as no new telemetry was coming in."
