ISRO gears up for last mission of 2024, to experiment with 24 payloads

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is preparing for its final mission of the year, the SpaDeX mission, which will launch 24 scientific experiments into space on December 30. The experiments will be deployed aboard the PSLV Orbital Experiment Module-4 (POEM-4), using the leftover fourth stage of the rocket. This will allow scientists to test new ideas and technologies in space instead of the stage becoming space debris. The payloads include projects from ISRO, research facilities, academia, and startups, aiming to study various aspects of science and engineering. Additionally, the mission aims to demonstrate the ability to dock two small spacecraft, a crucial step for future lunar missions.
