2025年8月，印度民營太空火箭製造商 Skyroot Aerospace 宣布採用 Siemens Xcelerator 旗下的 Polarion™ 軟體平台，以實現軟體開發數位轉型，提升專案效率並加速商業發射服務。Skyroot 期望透過此數位化升級，為全球衛星與航太客戶提供更快速、低成本且多元的發射選擇。

Skyroot 由 Pawan Kumar Chandana 與 Naga Bharath Daka 於2018年創辦，2022年成功發射印度首枚民營研發火箭「Vikram-S」，成為印度私人太空產業先驅。目前，公司正準備進行「Vikram-1」商業軌道發射，並在海得拉巴總部組建逾500人團隊，利用碳纖維複合材料、3D列印引擎等先進製造技術，打造靈活且高效率的運載火箭。

藉由導入 Siemens Polarion，Skyroot 將能夠：

• 統一軟體與系統研發流程，提升跨部門協作效率
• 強化追溯性與合規性，確保任務安全標準
• 優化生命週期管理，縮短研發到發射的時間週期

Siemens Digital Industries Software 印度區副總裁 Mathew Thomas 表示：「Skyroot 是印度及全球私人航太領域的先驅者，選擇 Polarion 代表其數位轉型的決心。印度航太產業將迎來高速成長，我們期待協助 Skyroot 實現『讓太空飛行更經濟、即時、靈活』的願景。」

🇹🇼台灣觀點：跨國數位航太合作的新契機

台灣在航太電子零組件、3D列印金屬材料、衛星地面系統等領域具備強大製造與研發能量。Skyroot 此次數位化升級意味著全球火箭製造商對軟體流程與供應鏈整合需求日增。

對台灣業者而言，未來可望在以下領域與 Skyroot 或其他新興火箭公司合作：

• 提供高精度航太感測器、數據採集模組
• 參與數位研發平台整合，支援任務軟體驗證
• 供應碳纖複材、航太級電子元件，進入印度及全球小型衛星發射供應鏈

🔍 三大觀察重點

1️⃣ 數位轉型成為新一代火箭製造核心競爭力

Polarion 提升研發效率，降低錯誤率，將改變全球新創航太企業開發流程。

2️⃣ 亞洲航太供應鏈重組，台灣有望切入國際專案

隨著印度、阿聯酋等新興航太國家崛起，台灣具技術優勢，可成為跨國火箭開發的核心零件供應者。

3️⃣ 軟體平台成為火箭產業關鍵差異化因素

從硬體為主轉向軟硬整合，顯示未來火箭商業化競爭將更倚重數位研發能力。

🚀 Siemens Xcelerator Powers Skyroot Aerospace’s Digital Transformation, Boosting Software Development Efficiency

News Content

In August 2025, Indian private rocket manufacturer Skyroot Aerospace announced the adoption of Polarion™ software, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, to digitally transform its software development processes and enhance project efficiency, accelerating commercial launch services worldwide.

Founded in 2018 by Pawan Kumar Chandana and Naga Bharath Daka, Skyroot made history in 2022 with the launch of Vikram-S, India’s first privately developed rocket to reach space. The company is now preparing for commercial orbital missions with Vikram-1, operating from its Hyderabad headquarters with a 500+ member team and leveraging carbon composite structures and 3D-printed engines to build flexible, cost-efficient launch vehicles.

Through Polarion, Skyroot aims to:

• Unify software and systems engineering processes, improving team collaboration
• Enhance traceability and regulatory compliance, ensuring mission safety
• Streamline lifecycle management, shortening the time from design to launch

Mathew Thomas, VP and Managing Director for Siemens Digital Industries Software India, said:

“Skyroot is a pioneer in India’s private space sector, and adopting Polarion reflects its commitment to digital transformation. As India’s space industry accelerates, we are proud to support Skyroot in making spaceflight more affordable, on-demand, and versatile.”

Taiwan Perspective: Opportunities in Global Aerospace Collaboration

Taiwan’s expertise in aerospace-grade electronics, additive manufacturing, and ground-based satellite systems positions it as a potential key supplier to emerging launch providers like Skyroot. This digital transformation trend signals growing demand for:

• High-precision aerospace sensors and data modules
• Software validation and integration support for mission control systems
• Composite materials and electronics for next-gen rockets targeting small satellite markets

🔍Three Key Takeaways

1️⃣ Digital transformation is becoming a core advantage for new rocket manufacturers

• Polarion improves efficiency and reduces errors, reshaping how startup space companies build rockets.

2️⃣ Asia’s aerospace supply chain is evolving, offering Taiwan new entry points

• As India and other emerging nations grow in space tech, Taiwan can play a pivotal role in global component supply.

3️⃣ Software-centric platforms are redefining competition in commercial space launches

• Future rocket development will rely heavily on integrated digital engineering capabilities.
