Docking is a process by which two fast-moving satellites are brought together and joined in orbit. It is essential for missions that require big payloads that cannot be carried to the orbit in a single launch.

Isro is working on enhancing the precision of its automated satellite docking. After a successful initial docking on January 16, the agency plans additional docking attempts, focusing on shorter separations and fuel-efficient maneuvers.

ISRO has successfully docked satellites, making India the fourth country to achieve this feat. This technology is crucial for future missions like Chandrayaan-4 and Gaganyaan.

ISRO released a video showing the coupling of the satellites in the space. It was followed by new ISRO Chairperson V Narayanan greeting the space agency team which made it a success.

India on Thursday became the fourth nation in the world to achieve space docking, a technological milestone that underscores its ambitions to expand its share in the rapidly growing $400 billion global space market.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) released a video on Friday showing the successful docking of two satellites, SDX-01 and SDX-02, as part of the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX).

ISRO achieved a groundbreaking milestone with the successful docking of satellites under the SpaDeX mission, making India the fourth country to master this technology after the US, Russia, and China.

India became the world's fourth nation on Thursday to achieve the feat of space docking, a technological milestone that underscores its ambitions to expand its share of a rapidly growing $400-billion global space market.
