ISRO Gearing Up For GSLV Mission And 100th Launch From Sriharikota In January: Chief S Somnath ISRO launched SpaDeX mission on December 30ISRO successfully launched the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission on December 30, 2024. On January 12, ISRO brought the two spacecraft to three metres and then moved them back to a safe distance in its trial attempt to dock the satellites.
The PSLV C60 rocket carrying two small satellites, SDX01 (Chaser) and SDX02 (Target), along with 24 payloads, had lifted off from the first launchpad of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, and about 15 minutes after liftoff, the two small spacecraft weighing about 220 kg each were launched into a 475-km circular orbit as intended.
This marked a major milestone for India as it set stone for ISRO setting up its own Space Station by 2035. This is a cost-effective technology demonstrator mission for in-space docking, satellite servicing and interplanetary missions.
In space, docking technology is essential when multiple rocket launches are required to achieve common mission objectives.
On Tuesday, deep inside Chinese Mongolia, the Harmanpreet Singh-led Men in Blue did just about enough to beat a spirited Chinese side. The occasion: the final of the Asian Champions Trophy 2024.
India, the most successful team in the competition, now have five titles, including back-to-back triumphs in 2023 and 2024. The victory adds to their bronze medal secured at the Paris Olympic Games last month.
ISRO To Close 2024 With PSLV-C60 SpaDeX Launch Tonight | All About The Mission, Launch Time & More ISRO's '100th launch' in JanuaryAfter the successful launch of the PSLV-C60 mission that placed the Space Docking Experiment spacecraft A and B in a circular orbit, ISRO Chairman S Somanath on December 30 said that the national space research organization is gearing up to achieve a significant milestone in January 2025.
According to the ISRO chief, a Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle (GSLV) mission is scheduled in January which will also be the 100th launch from the Sriharikota spaceport.
"So, all of you have seen the majestic lift-off and the launch of the SpaDeX (Space Docking Experiment) rocket, and for us, this is the 99th launch of any vehicle from Satish Dhawan Space Centre so, that is also a very important number. So, we are going for the 100th launch at the beginning of the next year", Somnath said while addingmanila game, “In 2025, we will have many missions to start with the GSLV launching the (navigation satellite) NVS-02 in the month of January."
