The SpaDeX success comes amid a fierce race between the US and China, which are going all out to send a crew to the moon

Ananth Technologies (ATL), which as a trusted partner of ISRO, played a crucial role in the mission, had delivered critical components, including Rendezvous Processing Units (RPU) and DC-DC converters for SDX01 and SDX02, among others

With this, India becomes the fourth nation after the US, Russia and China to have demonstrated space docking capability

According to ISRO, the SpaDeX mission is a cost-effective technology demonstrator mission for the demonstration of in-space docking using two small spacecraft launched by PSLV

Some Indian organisations were taken off the list in 2010, during President Obama’s first visit to India.

A veteran scientist, he joined ISRO in 1984 and has contributed significantly to India's space missions over the decades

Has shown signs of growth in POEM-4 module that is orbiting the earth at an altitude of 350 km

The two satellites, SDX01 (Chaser) and SDX02 (Target), are in good condition. "At 15 metres, we see each other clearer and clearer, we are just 50 feet away for an exciting handshake

He is set to take over from the current ISRO chief, S. Somnath, on January 14

Says the space docking process requires further validation through ground simulations based on abort scenario

It had successfully test-fired its home-built thruster – Vyom 2U – onboard the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-4 (POEM), tiling the platform by 24 degrees and imparting angular velocity before the onboard systems regained control

India strengthening its role as global leader in space: Union Home Minister

India's national space agency's biggest achievements to date have been one mission to sun, two missions to moon and one to Mars. And it is all set to launch a manned mission by the end of 2026

ISRO's PSLV-C60 mission successfully launched the SpaDex to conduct crucial experiments related to space docking technology

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chief S Somanath said the rocket has placed the satellites in the right orbit of 475 km circular orbit, after over 15 minutes of flight

The National Testing Agency came under fire over alleged irregularities in the conduct of NEET-UG and PhD entrance NET.  Later, the government set up a panel in July to study the functioning of the NTA

ISRO is gearing up for a mission to demonstrate a space docking experiment called SPADEX, onboard its trusted workhorse polar satellite launch vehicle, its chairman S Somanath said here on Thursday.

The Proba-3 (Project for Onboard Autonomy) mission consists of twin satellites in which two spacecraft (placed inside the satellites) would fly together as one, maintaining a precise formation down to a single milli-metre to study the Sun's outer atmosphere.

The launch on December 4 at 4:06 pm will entail the PSLV-C59 carrying around satellites weighing nearly 550 kg in a highly elliptical orbit
