ISRO's year-end mission is historic, aiming to achieve the rare feat of docking, merging, or joining two satellites in space. This ambitious project is named "Space Docking Experiment" (SpaDeX).
ISRO’s PSLV-C60 rocket carrying two spacecraft that would aid in demonstration of space docking, a critical technology for future space missions, lifted off from the spaceport here late on Monday.
From studying plant growth in space to demonstrating satellite communication technologies, the mission carries 10 payloads designed by start-ups and academic institutions from across India.
