  • SpadeX's Chaser satellite captures first video of Earth from space, demonstrating advanced imaging as part of ISRO's autonomous docking mission. The footage, taken at 400 km altitude, showcases its readiness for India's first collaborative space docking operation next week,

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully captured the first video of Earth from space using its Space Docking Experiment (SPADEX) chaser satellite. This milestone was achieved as part of ISRO's preparations for an upcoming historic docking mission. The video, showcasing Earth's curvature, was taken by the SPADEX chaser, which is designed to demonstrate autonomous docking capabilities in space. This technology is crucial for future space missions, including satellite servicing, space station assembly, and potential space debris management. The docking experiment aims to validate ISRO's ability to perform complex maneuvers in orbit, paving the way for more ambitious space exploration endeavors.
