The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has achieved a major milestone with the successful demonstration of its sophisticated robotic arm, part of the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission. The ISRO released a new video on Monday showing the robotic arm capturing tethered space debris with impressive precision. The arm uses advanced technologies such as visual servoing, motion prediction, and a parallel end-effector to perform delicate operations.

The Indian space agency’s latest achievement marks a crucial step forward in space exploration. After successfully capturing tethered debris, ISRO’s robotic manipulator is now capable of capturing free-floating debris in space and even refuelling tethered and free-floating spacecraft. This capability is vital for maintaining space missions and cleaning up the growing issue of debris in Earth's orbit.
