Millennium Post Delhi
|New Delhi 17January2025
BENGALURU: In a landmark achievement that positions India among global space powers, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully conducted its first-ever satellite docking operation on Thursday as part of the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX).

The organisation also confirmed successful control of the two satellites as a single unit post-docking.
The historic accomplishment makes India only the fourth nation globally, after the United States, Russia, and China, to master this critical space technology. The successful demonstration represents a crucial stepping stone for India's ambitious future space initiatives, including the Chandrayaan-4 lunar mission, the Gaganyaan human spaceflight program, and the planned "Bharatiya Antriksh Station" space station targeted for 2035.
"India docked its name in space history!" ISRO announced triumphantly on the social media platform X, marking the momentous achievement. The mission involved two satellites, designated as Chaser and Target, demonstrating precise manoeuvring and docking capabilities in orbit.
