A docking experiment -

SpaDeX (Space Docking Experiment) -

SpaDeX is a highly important and complex technological mission of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Its primary objective is to demonstrate the capability of successfully docking two satellites in space.

Mission format: This experiment will involve two satellites (one 'changer' and the other 'target'). They will approach each other in orbit and then connect via an automated system.

Objective: This mission serves as a foundation for the construction of the future Indian Space Station (Bharatiya Antariksha Station), where the crew and modules will be connected.

Significance: This technology is essential for astronaut transfers, satellite refueling, and missions like Chandrayaan-4 (which will return samples from the Moon).
