The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) released a video showing the successful docking of two satellites, SDX-01 and SDX-02, on January 16, 2025. This achievement makes India the fourth country to master this technology, joining the US, Russia, and China. The docking is part of ISRO's Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) and is significant for future missions, including Chandrayaan-4 and Gaganyaan. The agency plans to conduct undocking and power transfer tests in the coming days. ISRO's advancements support its goal of establishing a space station by 2035, as announced by the Indian government last October.
