India’s space agency, ISRO – Indian Space Research Organisation, successfully launched the PSLV-C60 rocket on December 30, 2024, from Sriharikota. The mission included the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX), marking a significant achievement in India’s space exploration journey. SpaDeX aims to demonstrate in-space docking technology with two satellites, paving the way for future missions like satellite servicing, the Indian space station, and long-term lunar projects.
The PSLV-C60 mission showcased India’s growing collaboration with private sector partners and highlighted advanced technologies, including electric power transfer between docked spacecraft and radiation monitoring payloads. This positions India as the fourth nation globally to achieve such docking capabilities.
