  • C60/SPADEX(Space Docking Experiment) mission which will launch on 30th December 2024, is all about high-profile experiments that are aimed at enabling India's human spaceflight ambitions and exploration missions like Chandrayaan-4.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to conduct experiments on the International Space Station (ISS) focusing on space biology and robotics. These experiments include testing robotic arms for potential use in space missions and studying plant growth in microgravity environments. The initiative aims to understand how plants adapt to space conditions, which could be crucial for long-duration space flights and establishing sustainable habitats in space. Additionally, the robotic arm tests are part of ISRO's broader goal to enhance capabilities for satellite servicing, debris removal, and assembly of structures in space. These experiments are part of ISRO's ongoing efforts to expand India's footprint in space exploration and technology.
