Kochi: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Thursday announced the docking of two satellites in space making India the fourth country to achieve the feat.
“Bharat became the 4th country to achieve successful Space Docking. Congratulations to the entire team! Congratulations to India,” ISRO posted on X.
Other countries to achieve the feat are US, Russia, China.
Two satellites SDX01 (Chaser) and SDX02 (Target) which were launched by the PSLV C60 on December 30, 2024, successfully docked as the space agency officials from the Mission Operations Complex (MOX) at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Network (ISTRAC) oversaw the complex docking procedure.
This experiment would prove fruitful for future assignments like the Bharatiya Antariksha Station and the Chandrayaan-4 mission since the docking mechanism was becoming necessary, ISRO said.
