ISRO successfully docks SpaDeX satellites in space, creates history

The Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission was successfully launched on December 30, 2024, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Thursday successfully completed the docking process of the SpaDeX satellites.

"India docked its name in space history! Good Morning India ISRO’s SpaDeX mission accomplishes historic docking success. Proud to witness this moment!", ISRO said in a post on 'X'.

The historic moment came just days after the space agency, on January 12, brought the two spacecraft to three metres and then placed them back at a safe distance in its trial attempt to dock the satellites.
