India successfully completes first space docking experiment

BangkokPost.com — January 16, 2025, 09:01 AM UTC

India has successfully completed its first space docking experiment, becoming the fourth country to achieve this technology. The Indian Space Research Organisation announced the milestone, which is crucial for future missions, including plans for a space station and a manned moon mission. The docking was part of the Space Docking Experiment mission, or SpaDeX, which launched two small satellites on December 30. This technology enables India to transfer payloads and potentially humans between spacecraft. India joins the US, Russia, and China in mastering docking capabilities. Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the achievement as a significant step for India's future space ambitions.
