Chennai: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has achieved an unique record of cultivating crops in space, besides demonstrating its first walkig robotic arm in space.
Scientific experiments launched
Both using scientific experiments launched as part of POEM-4 on board PSLV-C60 as part of Spadex space docking technology mission on Deember 31, 2024.
Make in India milestone
The demonstration of walking robotic arm on board POEM-4 was a proud Make in India milestone in space robotics, ISRO said.
Biology tech
It said using the scientific experiment CROPS, ISRO unveiled new space biology tech by cultivating crops.

Leaves are expected soon
Stage, cowpea seeds sprouted in a record four days and the leaves are expected soon.
The experiment used was VSSC's CROPS (Compact Research Module for Orbital Plant Studies) experiment . After the December 31 launch, the sprouts were expected in seven days. But it happened in four days, ISRO said.
Space docking technology
PSLV-C60 was launched on the night of New Year Eve with two Spadex satellites Charger and Target, both weighing 220 kg, for demonstrating space docking technology.
The docking of the two satellites would take place on the forenoon of January seven, ISRO said.
