India successfully docks two satellites in space marking key milestone

thenews.com.pk — January 16, 2025 at 08:01 AM UTC

India successfully docked two satellites in space on January 16, 2025, marking a significant achievement for its space program. This event makes India the fourth country to accomplish this feat, following Russia, the United States, and China. The satellites, each weighing 220 kilograms, were launched in December 2024 and later maneuvered to dock in a precise operation. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) described this as a "historic moment" and part of its Space Docking Experiment. This docking technology is crucial for India's future plans, including a manned Moon mission by 2040. India's space program has expanded rapidly, achieving significant milestones at a lower cost compared to other nations.
