Current Affairs Update - ISRO launches SpaDeX mission for space docking

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission on December 30, 2024. This mission aims to demonstrate technologies needed for spacecraft rendezvous, docking, and undocking using two small satellites, SDX01 (Chaser) and SDX02 (Target). The PSLV-C60 rocket carried these satellites along with 24 other payloads and placed them into a 475-km circular orbit. The two SpaDeX satellites, each weighing about 220 kg, were launched into orbit about 15 minutes after liftoff. The satellites have moved one behind the other and will gradually increase their distance by 20 km over the next few days. The docking process is expected to occur between January 7 and 10, 2025. The SpaDeX mission is crucial for ISRO as it aims to master technologies that only an elite group of spacefaring nations have achieved. These technologies are essential for future missions, such as sending an Indian astronaut to the Moon, sample return missions from the Moon, and the building and operation of the Indian Space Station. The PSLV-C60 rocket's precision will be utilized to give a small relative velocity between the Target and Chaser spacecraft at the time of separation from the launch vehicle. This incremental velocity will allow the Target spacecraft to build a 10-20 km inter-satellite separation with respect to the Chaser within a day. The Chaser will then approach the Target with progressively reduced inter-satellite distances, ultimately leading to the docking of the two spacecraft. ബഹിരാകാശ ഡോക്കിംഗിനായി ഐഎസ്ആർഒ സ്പാഡെക്സ് ദൗത്യം ആരംഭിച്ചു ഇന്ത്യൻ ബഹിരാകാശ ഗവേഷണ സ്ഥാപനം (ISRO) 2024 ഡിസംബർ 30-ന് ബഹിരാകാശ ഡോക്കിംഗ് പരീക്ഷണം (SpaDeX) ദൗത്യം വിജയകരമായി വിക്ഷേപിച്ചു. ഈ ദൗത്യം രണ്ട് ചെറിയ ഉപഗ്രഹങ്ങളായ SDX01, SDX01 (Chaser) എന്നിവ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് ബഹിരാകാശ പേടകങ്ങളുടെ കൂടിച്ചേരൽ, ഡോക്കിംഗ്, അൺഡോക്കിംഗ് എന്നിവയ്ക്ക് ആവശ്യമായ സാങ്കേതികവിദ്യകൾ പ്രദർശിപ്പിക്കാൻ ലക്ഷ്യമിടുന്നു.
