What did ISRO do, which was discussed everywhere
Docking means joining two things together. For the first time, ISRO has done the work of joining two small satellites by bringing them closer in space. India has become the fourth country in the world to do so. After India, Russia and China, this achievement has now been added to India’s name.
‘Space Docking Experiment’ mission started on 30 December
Let us tell you that on January 12, ISRO had brought two spacecraft to a distance of 3 meters for the test of ‘docking’ the satellites and then sent them back to a safe distance. ISRO successfully launched the ‘Space Docking Experiment’ (SPADEX) mission on December 30, 2024.
