Vikram sealed. Lotus secured.
India's premier launch vehicle stands ready. The 16.16 ct diamond lotus is encapsulated inside the payload fairing.
The Partnership
Two Indian icons,
one payload.
SKYROOT Aerospace brings the launch vehicle engineering. Cosmos Diamonds brings the artistic jewelry. Together they conceived the Lotus Payload — a diamond jewel revealed through fairing separation, inspired by Indian craftsmanship and rocket design.
Microart
Smaller than a grain of rice.
The mission will also carry gold into space. Artist Ajay Kumar Mattewada has created a unique artwork known as Microart that will fly aboard the rocket. The miniature sculpture features an 18-carat gold rocket carrying tiny statues of three of India's greatest scientific visionaries: Nobel Prize-winning physicist Sir C.V. Raman, Indian space programme founder Dr Vikram Sarabhai and former President and aerospace scientist Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
The remarkable aspect of the artwork is its size. Each of the miniature sculptures is smaller than a grain of rice. Together they represent a tribute to three generations of scientific leadership that helped shape modern India.
Cosmos Diamonds
Born in India.
Built for the Cosmos.
A campaign concept uniting two pioneer Indian brands — ready for product photography, campaign copy, or deeper 3D animation when the final models are available.
