ISRO’s PSLV C60 SpaDeX Mission Update: Both Satellite Chaser and Target Launched Successfully

ISRO’s PSLV C60 rocket took off from the spaceport here late Monday night carrying two spacecraft that will help demonstrate space docking, a crucial technology for future space missions. Introduced as a prelude to ISRO setting up its own space station by 2035, the 44.5-metre tall Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) carried spacecraft A and B, each weighing 220 kg, that will help in space docking, satellite servicing and interplanetary missions.
