ISRO’s final mission of 2024, the SpaDex (Space Docking Experiment), will launch on 30 December at 9:58 PM from Sriharikota. India aims to join the US, Russia, and China as nations capable of docking spacecraft in space. The mission will use two spacecraft, Chaser and Target, to demonstrate docking, undocking, and power transfer in orbit. This is a key step for India's plan to build its own space station. The PSLV-C60 rocket will also carry POEM-4, which will host microgravity experiments for up to three months. A successful mission will elevate India's position in global space technology.
