PSLV-C60 launch: ISRO launches SpaDeX mission for space docking

The Hindu  

The Indian Space Research Organisation successfully launched the Space Docking Experiment mission on Monday. The PSLV C60 rocket carrying two small satellites, SDX01 and SDX02, along with 24 payloads, lifted off from the first launchpad of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 10 p.m. About 15 minutes after liftoff, the two small spacecraft weighing about 220 kg each were launched into a 475-km circular orbit as intended. JUST IN | #ISRO's PSLV-C60 with the Space Docking Experiment and 24 experimental payloads lifts off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, @hemanth_cs reports pic.twitter.com/O1rmKXQDQx — The Hindu December 30, 2024 With the SpaDeX mission, ISRO aims to exhibit technologies needed for spacecraft rendezvous, docking, and undocking using two small satellites which have been mastered by only an elite group of spacefaring nations. ISRO said that the demonstrated precision of the PSLV vehicle will be utilised to give a small relative velocity between the Target and Chaser spacecraft at the time of separation from the launch vehicle. “With a similar strategy of introducing and then compensating for a small relative velocity between the two spacecraft, the Chaser will approach the Target with progressively reduced inter-satellite distances of 5 km, 1.5 km, 500 m, 225 m, 15 m, and 3 m, ultimately leading to the docking of the two spacecraft,” it added.
