Docking is crucial for deep space exploration, particularly for interplanetary missions, as it facilitates the transfer of cargo and supplies between spacecraft, thereby extending mission durations through the deployment of various modules,

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).
