No mega rocket for crewed Moon mission, Isro to rely on docking
Wednesday, 19 February 2025 () India aims to achieve its planned crewed mission to the Moon by 2040 using multiple launches and docking technology, rather than a single large rocket. Isro's recent success with the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) will provide valuable insights for future missions, including a space station project and future lunar landings.
Scientists are pioneering an underwater living space and hope to have permanent bases underwater in 2027. Oceans cover two-thirds of our planet and provide every other breath of oxygen we breathe, yet we know less about their deeper areas than we do about the surface of the moon.In a quarry in Chepstow - they want to change that. The former scuba diving site is now a hub of cutting-edge engineering owned by a company called DEEP. The centrepiece is a 60-metre long steel underwater habitat. It’s called Sentinel and hopes to provide a home for marine scientists as deep as 200 metres. Report by Faragt.

ISRO’s PSLV-C60 mission is set to mark a significant milestone in India's space journey. As the countdown begins for the Space Docking Experiment, India is poised to join an elite group of countries—China, Russia, and the US—that have successfully achieved in-space docking. This cost-effective technology demonstrator mission, set to launch in late 2024, will be crucial for India’s future space ambitions, including sending humans to the Moon and operating its own space station. Watch as ISRO takes one step closer to making history in the field of space exploration.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was forced to delay the launch of its SpaDeX mission by two minutes due to a "traffic jam" in space, caused by a satellite from Elon Musk's SpaceX. The delay, which was a precautionary measure, was taken to avoid potential collision risks with the SpaceX satellite already in orbit. SpaceX, through its Starlink project, has been rapidly expanding its satellite network, leading to congestion in low Earth orbit, and raising concerns about satellite collisions and space traffic management. ISRO's decision highlights the increasing challenges of managing space traffic as private satellite companies like SpaceX continue to launch more satellites into space.

India has successfully completed its first unmanned space docking, becoming the fourth nation in the world to achieve this feat. The Space Docking Experiment (SpaDex) demonstrated the docking of two small spacecraft, called Target and Chaser, launched on December 30. This achievement strengthens India’s position as a global space power, crucial for future space missions like lunar exploration, crewed space travel, and building a space station. Prime Minister Modi praised the achievement, highlighting its importance for India’s ambitious space goals, including landing an astronaut on the moon by 2040.
