India's space agency ISRO postponed a highly anticipated space docking mission for the second time late Wednesday. The agency cited an issue arising from excess drift between the satellites, without disclosing a new date for the docking.

India has delayed a space docking experiment essential for deep space missions. The experiment was postponed for further ground simulations after identifying an abort scenario. This experiment seeks to make India the fourth country to achieve this feat.

India postponed by a couple of days on Monday a highly-anticipated space docking experiment that would see it become the fourth country in the world to achieve a feat essential for expanding future deep space exploratory missions.

"SpaDeX will serve as a milestone in advancing India’s capabilities in space docking, a critical technology for future space missions including satellite servicing, space station operations, and interplanetary missions,” ISRO said in an explainer.

Tirupati : The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is on the brink of achieving a landmark feat with its first-ever space docking experiment, scheduled for Thursday. This critical test, featuring the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) satellites, represents a significant leap in India’s pursuit of advanced space technologies.

ISRO Delays Space Docking Experiment Again - Again ISRO has postponed the much-anticipated Space Docking Experiment , SpaDEx , due to excessive drift

ISRO has stabilised its Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX), resuming progress after a satellite drift caused delays.

ISRO will carryout its ambitious space docking experiment using two satellites on orbit, on January 9. The event was scheduled on January 7 but postponed to Thursday morning.

ISROs Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) trial is rescheduled to January 9 for additional validation, marking a significant advancement in India’s space capabilities.
