Says they are now orbiting independently and their health is normal
Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Thursday said it has accomplished de-docking of the SpaDeX satellites, clearing the way for future missions such as exploring the moon, human spaceflight, and building its own space station.
Union Minister Jitendra Singh announced the successful de-docking of satellites in a post on 'X'.
"SpaDeX satellites accomplished the unbelievable de-docking. This paves the way for smooth conduct of ambitious future missions including the Bharatiya Antriksha Station, Chandrayaan 4 & Gaganyaan," Singh said.
"Congrats team Isro. And heartening for every Indian," he said.
Singh said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's continuous patronage keeps the spirits soaring.
