In a groundbreaking achievement, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully completed the undocking of two satellites as part of the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission. This marks a significant milestone in India’s growing space exploration capabilities.
The undocking process, which involved a series of meticulously planned maneuvers, saw the separation of the SDX-01 and SDX-02 satellites. Key steps included the successful extension of SDX-2, the release of Capture Lever 3, and the disengagement of the Capture Lever in SDX-2. Once these were completed, the decapture command was issued for both satellites, resulting in their successful separation.
Reacting to the achievement, the Minister of Science and Technology extended his congratulations to the ISRO team, emphasizing the immense pride this success brings to the entire nation. The successful undocking opens the door to India’s ambitious future space missions, such as the Bharatiya Antriksh Station, Chandrayaan-4, and the Gaganyaan program.
Launched on December 30, 2024, the SpaDeX mission aimed to demonstrate advanced rendezvous, docking, and undocking technologies that will be critical for future space exploration efforts. Earlier in January, the docking process itself involved precision maneuvers as the satellites closed the gap from 15 meters to just 3 meters before successfully docking.
With the successful undocking of the SpaDeX satellites, India has firmly positioned itself among the world’s leaders in space technology, alongside the United States, Russia, and China. This achievement further solidifies India’s place in the global space race, setting the stage for more ambitious missions ahead.
