ISRO readies SpaDeX-2 mission to dock satellites in elliptical orbit

After successfully bringing together two satellites in space, scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) are drawing up plans for a second SpaDeX mission — this time to dock two satellites in an elliptical orbit. The ability to join two satellites in space, known as docking, is critical for India's upcoming Chandrayaan-4 mission and the proposed Bharatiya Antariksh Station, the country's planned space station. In the first SpaDeX mission, two 220-kg satellites were launched into a 470-km circular orbit. With a small relative velocity introduced between them, the satellites were allowed to drift apart before being progressively brought closer. On January 16, they successfully docked. The experiment also demonstrated power sharing between the satellites and their ability to receive commands as a single composite unit. With this, India became only the fourth country, after the US, Russia, and China, to demonstrate in-space docking capabilities. However, the feat was carried out in a relatively easier circular orbit. 'Docking in a circular orbit is much easier than docking in an elliptical orbit. This is because the trajectory and velocity of the satellites remain constant in a circular orbit, whereas they keep changing on an elliptical orbit. What this essentially means is that calculations done for one point will not be relevant after a few minutes,' said a scientist in the know of the matter. 'This is, however, what the SpaDeX 2 experiment will attempt.' This capability is likely to play a vital role in future missions, such as Chandrayaan-4, where multiple modules may be launched separately, and docking and undocking will be required in both Earth and lunar orbits. For moon missions, ISRO typically launches spacecraft into an elliptical Earth orbit, gradually raising the apogee (farthest point) through engine burns at perigee (closest point) to use minimal fuel. This process sets up a slingshot trajectory toward the Moon, making docking in elliptical orbits a practical requirement for complex missions. The first docking operation took a considerable amount of time, as the agency approached it with extreme caution. 'This was the first time ISRO was attempting docking and undocking, so everything had to be meticulously planned and tested. In fact, several of the sensors being used were developed for this mission itself and had to be calibrated to readings in space. Once that was done, the readings were used to conduct several simulations on Earth before the actual docking was attempted. And, even then, the satellites were brought closer very slowly. With all the knowledge gathered during the first docking, the second became easier. It was quicker, without the satellites needing to stop and go as many times as the first time,' the scientist said. During the initial attempt, the SpaDeX satellites were brought progressively closer, halting at designated checkpoints – 5 km, 1.5 km, 500 m, 225 m, 15 m, and 3 m – before finally docking. In the second attempt, post-separation, the process was smoother and faster, with fewer halts en route to redocking.

Swiss award for IT college researcher

Lucknow: A research scholar from Isabella Thoburn college, Samridhi Dwivedi won the Trojan Horse Award 2025 awarded by the Swiss Chemical Society in collaboration with Ärztinnen und Ärzte für Umweltschutz (Doctors for the environment), Switzerland. Samridhi conducted the research under the supervision of chemistry professor Alfred Lawrence. The award carries a citation and prize money of Rs 2 lakh. This award recognises outstanding research that advances scientific understanding of the Trojan Horse phenomenon — referring to the release and transport of toxic, often carcinogenic substances via ultra-fine particles generated in combustion processes, such as those from vehicles and industrial emissions.

Home grown less than 50 rupees' test aiding fight against Sickle Cell Disease

New Delhi [India], June 21 (ANI): Sickle Cell Disease, a genetic blood disorder, leads to severe health complications such as anaemia, frequent pain episodes and other debilitating symptoms, affecting millions worldwide, especially in India and Africa. According to Dr Prabhakar Kedar, Scientist F, ICMR- CRMCH, Chandrapur India has indigenous validated 35 company kits and 23 kits with 100 % accuracy and low cost for Sickle Cell Anaemia detection, 'we have validated so far 35 company kits and 23 have shown 100 per cent sensitivity and 12 kits 95 per cent sensitivity.' The sample collection is done from a finger prick mixed with buffer solution, and results are obtained in a few minutes. 'A drop of capillary blood (usually from a finger prick) is collected. 2. The blood is mixed with buffer solution and placed on the test strip or cassette, 3. Reaction: The test uses antibodies to detect different haemoglobin variants (HbA, HbS and control band).' He explained 'Colored lines appear on the strip within 10 minutes to indicate the presence of normal haemoglobin (HbA), sickle haemoglobin (HbS), and control band.' He said. On utilisation of these kits, he said 2 kits per month are used, and for each kit we use 50 Sickle homozygous blood samples, 50 heterozygous and 50 normal blood samples.' 'We used blood samples, which were first confirmed by the HPLC method, which is the gold standard for diagnosing sickle cell anaemia, ' he said. To support the fight against Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), two centres- ICMR-NIIH in Mumbai and CRMCH in Chandrapur, have been officially chosen by the government to test and approve new diagnostic kits. 'ICMR NIRRCH, along with PGI Chandigarh and ICMR-NIIH, conducted a comprehensive assessment and determined that point-of-care tests for Sickle Cell Disease/Trait among the high-risk population in India would be cost-effective if procured at INR 100 per test or below. Following the HTA recommendation, the National Health Mission instructed state health departments to procure the diagnostic kits at a maximum price of INR 100 per test. Through public tendering, the competitive procurement process drove the price of the kits down to INR 82 per test, significantly below the initial quote, resulting in a saving of Rs 1,857 crores. Subsequently, ICMR-NIIH has validated new kits, and further to it, the manufacturer has agreed to sell the kits at INR 50 per test,' states ICMR-CRMCH. These efforts are a big boost for the National Sickle Cell Elimination Mission, which aims to eliminate the disease from India by 2047. (ANI)
