Isro aims to achieve its Space Docking Experiment (Spadex) mission by mid-December, a critical precursor for Chandrayaan-4 and future human space missions. Further, Isro’s Gaganyaan program targets two key missions, TV-D2 and G1, by year-end, with significant progress on its propulsion systems, crew modules, and supporting infrastructure.
