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.
According to ISRO, the SpaDeX mission is a cost-effective technology demonstrator mission for the demonstration of in-space docking using two small spacecraft that was launched by PSLV.
ISRO said satellites were successfully moved within 15m of each other & then closer to 3m before being moved back to safe distance. Docking experiments are scheduled for 7 & 9 January.
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.
For the last 11 years, Nehru has been constantly blocking my efforts and causing the fiascos that are my many yojanas and abhiyans. He is the reason most of my initiatives turn into disasters.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
