The Indian Space Research Organisation is ending 2024 on a high with the launch of the SpaDeX Mission scheduled for December 30 at 9.58 pm from Sriharikota. It is a mission for the demonstration of in-space docking using two small spacecraft launched by PSLV. This technology is essential for India’s space ambitions, such as the lunar sample return mission, building and operating Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS), and a crewed mission to the moon.

The spacecraft has been designed and built by ISRO’s UR Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru. The centre’s director M Sankaran spoke exclusively with CNN-News18, explaining the significance of the experiment.
