The SpaDeX mission, which took flight on 30 December last year, was originally supposed to have displayed the docking and undocking of the 2 spacecraft in 1st week of January.
India is now the 4th country, after US, Russia & China, to have developed & tested space docking technology. SpaDeX findings are expected to help India achieve future space goals.
Key SpaDeX experiment planned for 7 January. A successful demonstration will add India to an elite list—US, Russia, EU and China—to have performed docking in space.
French newspaper La Tribune earlier last week indicated that UAE withdrew from deal to fund EUR 3.5 billion. India is looking to order 114 new Rafales, which could include the F5.
