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 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.

In a major boost to India's ambitious future space missions, ISRO on Thursday successfully performed the docking of satellites as part of the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) and announced that post docking, control of two satellites as a single object was also achieved.

India usefully achieved the target of docking two ISRO satellites in space. What does this mean for the country and its future space missions?
