SpaDeX Docking Update: ISRO close to creating another history; Both satellites came closer to 3 meters
SpaDeX Docking Update: After Chandrayaan-3 and Solar Mission, the Indian Space Research Organization i.e. ISRO is very close to surprising the whole world with another success. On Sunday (January 12), two satellites sent to space for ISRO's Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX Docking) were brought closer first by 15 meters and then by three meters. If ISRO is successful in this experiment (SpaDeX Docking), then India will become the fourth country to master this complex technology.

ISRO has given an update for Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX Docking) through X Post. Regarding the Spadex docking, ISRO had earlier written, “At a distance of 15 meters we can see each other clearly, we are just 50 feet apart for an exciting handshake.” After this the organization wrote, “A test attempt was made to reach both the satellites first 15 meters and then 3 meters. Both are being taken back to a safe distance. Now the data will be analyzed first, after which the docking process will be completed.”
SpaDeX Docking Update:
A trial attempt to reach up to 15 m and further to 3 m is done.

In another post, ISRO said- “SpaDeX satellites located at a height of 15 meters, capturing stunning photos and videos of each other!” Let us tell you that the Space Docking Experiment (SPADEX) mission was launched by ISRO on 30 December. During this, the PSLV C60 rocket took off from the first launchpad of Satish Dhawan Space Center at Sriharikota carrying two small satellites, SDX01 (Chaser) and SDX02 (Target) and 24 payloads. Just 15 minutes later, two small spacecraft were launched into a circular orbit of 475 kilometers. His weight was 20 kg.

Success in Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX Docking) will be important for India in many ways. This will help in future missions such as the Indian Space Station and landing astronauts on the Moon. Docking techniques in space are necessary when multiple rocket launches are required to achieve common mission objectives.
