♦ The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has completed the Rolling experiment as part of its Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission.

♦ The “Rolling” or “Rotating” experiment involves circumnavigation of one of the satellites to verify control over satellite maneuvering.

♦ The experiment will help ISRO understand what it takes to bring an object to a desired spot from different orientations for docking.

♦ It will also help ISRO learn whether docking could be done vertically and so on.

♦ This experiment, crucial for future missions like Chandrayaan-4, will provide valuable data and help ISRO validate multiple software and ground station controls.

♦ Earlier, on 13 March 2025, ISRO had completed the undocking of two satellites as a part of the SpaDEx mission.
