The mission, majorly known for its docking objective, also carried spinach into space to study the possibility of food and nutrition for astronauts in space.

On Monday, ISRO launched two small spacecraft by Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. As India aims to leave a mark in the world through its space exploration missions, this expedition will help India's space ambitions such as 'Indian on Moon', sample return from the Moon and the building and operation of Bharatiya Antariksh Station- India's very own space station.
