ISRO successfully launches SpaDeX Mission for rare in-space docking

In a groundbreaking achievement, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully launched its PSLV-C60 mission, featuring the innovative SpaDeX (Space Docking Experiment) technology. The mission involves two small satellites, named Chaser and Target, each weighing approximately 220 kg. This mission is set to propel India into an exclusive group of nations capable of conducting space



docking.

The PSLV-C60 SpaDeX mission is of monumental importance to India’s space exploration capabilities. Should the mission succeed, India will become the fourth country in the world, after Russia, the United States, and China, to possess the advanced technology required for space docking. Currently, this space docking technology is held by only three countries, making ISRO’s achievement a significant milestone.
