In a historic move, the ISRO on Thursday successfully completed the docking of satellites as part of the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX), thus making India the fourth country after the US, Russia and China to accomplish the feat
Two satellites came as close as three metres in a trial attempt for space docking and are now moving back, the Indian space agency said on Sunday.
Space docking is a complex process requiring high precision, and mastering it is critical for missions that involve assembling large structures in orbit or servicing satellites.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) aims to launch the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission, aboard the PSLV-C60 rocket, at 21:58 IST from Sriharikota on December 30.
Satellites are integral to our life and civilisation. Without them, there would be no communication network or Global Positioning System (GPS).
