PSLV C60/Spadex soars into sky !

 

By 9.45 pm, we were standing in the terrace at Triplicane, with eyes fixed to the sky !  - yes another successful ISRO launch.  Precisely at   10:00:15 PM, PSLV-C60 with SpaDeX and innovative payloads lifted off from Sriharikota and in a couple of minutes they were visible at Chennai.

 

PSLV C60/SPADEX Mission  - is a cost-effective technology demonstrator mission for the demonstration of in-space docking using two small spacecraft launched by PSLV. This technology is essential for India’s space ambitions such as Indian on Moon, sample return from the Moon, the building and operation of Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS), etc. In-space docking technology is essential when multiple rocket launches are required to achieve common mission objectives. Through this mission, India is marching towards becoming the fourth country in the world to have space docking technology.

 

Here are couple of photos clicked in the dark sky too !!

 

Well done ISRO – Jai Hind
