On December 30, ISRO`s PSLV-C60 successfully launched the SpaDeX mission along with 24 innovative payloads into orbit. The Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) is a groundbreaking mission designed to demonstrate India`s capabilities in orbital docking. This technology will be crucial for future space endeavors, including rendezvous, docking, and undocking between spacecraft. SpaDeX is a significant step in India’s space ambitions, such as human spaceflight and the establishment of the Bharatiya Antariksh Station. ISRO`s long-term vision also includes landing a human on the Moon by 2040. With this mission, India is set to become the fourth nation in the world to possess space docking technology, marking a major milestone in its space exploration journey.
