ISRO launched the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) aboard the PSLV-C60 rocket. The mission carried two small spacecraft, Chaser and Target, into a 470 km orbit. This mission aims to develop and demonstrate satellite docking and undocking. Successful docking will place India among elite space-faring nations. The fourth stage repurposed as PSLV Orbital Experimental Module will deploy 24 scientific experiments.
