ISRO To Launch SpaDeX Mission From Satish Dhawan Space Centre
A key milestone in India’s space programme, the mission will lift off at 10 pm on Monday instead of the originally planned 9.58 pm, ISRO said. However, there was no immediate information on the reason behind the rescheduling.
"Space Docking Experiment is a pioneering mission to establish India’s capability in orbital docking, a key technology for future human spaceflight and satellite servicing missions," the space agency added. The 25 hour countdown which commenced on Sunday night at 9 pm was proceeding, an ISRO official said. A cost-effective technology demonstrator mission for in-space docking, it would make India join an elite list featuring China, Russia and the US.
The mission will be launched from the first launch pad at this spaceport here and would carry SpaDeX with two spacecraft as the primary payloads along with 24 secondary payloads.
The in-space docking technology would be essential for taking up India’s ambitions in space including sending humans to the Moon, bringing samples from there, and also building and operating the country’s own space station- Bharatiya Antariksh Station.
