What is Spadex that ISRO will launch today why is it being called the biggest space experiment NTC
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will launch the Spadex mission from Sriharikota today. It will be launched at 10 pm. ISRO has given this information through social media post. It is believed that the success of this mission of ISRO will decide the construction of Indian Space Station (BAS) and the success of Chandrayaan-4 mission. Therefore this launching is being considered very important.
What is Spadex mission
There are two satellites in this mission. First chaser second target. Chaser satellite will catch the target. Will do docking with it. Apart from this, there may be one more important test. A robotic arm emerged from the satellite which would pull the target towards itself through a hook i.e. in a tethered manner. This target could be a different CubeSat.
You will get this success…
With this experiment, in the future, ISRO will get the technology to bring the part going in a different direction back into orbit after leaving the orbit. Besides, the option of servicing and refueling in orbit will also open. In the Spacex mission, two different spacecraft will be shown connecting in space.
Important for mission Chandrayaan-4
Docking in space is a very important technology for Chandrayaan-4. Docking means bringing different parts towards each other and connecting them. This technology of connecting two different things in space will help India in building its own space station. It will also help in Chandrayaan-4 project. Spadex i.e. there will be two parts of one satellite. These will be launched by placing them in a single rocket. Both of them will be released at different places in space.

low cost mission
SpaDeX (Space Docking Experiment) mission is a low-cost technical mission of ISRO. Its objective is to complete the process of docking and undocking of two small vehicles in space with the help of PSLV rocket. According to ISRO, this technology is very important for India’s future space missions like human mission to the Moon, bringing samples from the Moon, and construction and operation of the Indian Space Station (BAS).
Will become the fourth country in the world
ISRO said that this technology is necessary when multiple rocket launches are required to accomplish the objectives of a single mission. If this mission is successful, India will become the fourth country in the world, which has acquired this technology. Till now only America, China and Russia have this technology.
