Debris retrieval to gut bacteria, Isro’s next POEM has many firsts

ISRO’s PSLV-C60 mission is set to launch. The mission will deploy two satellites for a docking experiment. The mission includes 24 payloads on the POEM platform. These payloads include a robotic arm for capturing space debris. Student-developed payloads will study gut bacteria and plant growth in space. A walking robotic arm will also be tested.
