GK RAPID REVISION DEMO DASHBOARD

GK RAPID REVISION - JANUARY -TOPIC- 21 (#182)

Passage:

On January 16, 2025, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) achieved a significant milestone by successfully conducting its first-ever space docking experiment, known as the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX). This accomplishment positioned India as the fourth nation globally, after the United States, Russia, and China, to demonstrate autonomous space docking capabilities. The SpaDeX mission involved two satellites, SDX-01 (Chaser) and SDX-02 (Target), which were maneuvered to dock in low Earth orbit. This technology is crucial for future endeavors such as space station operations, satellite servicing, and interplanetary missions. The success of SpaDeX not only showcases India's growing prowess in space technology but also lays the groundwork for ambitious projects like the Bharatiya Antariksh Station and the Chandrayaan-4 mission
