ISRO to resume SpaDeX experiments from March 15

The ISRO will resume experiments on the SpaDeX mission in mid-March by trying to separate the two satellites – Chaser and Target – and re-dock them again as it attempts to master the technologies for future projects.

The SpaDeX mission was



launched on December 30 last year when it placed in orbit two satellites – SDX01 and SDX02 – to demonstrate the docking experiment in space. After several attempts, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was successful in docking the two satellites on January 16.
