India docks 2 satellites in space, a milestone for its scientific ambitions

SeattlePI.com Thursday, 16 January 2025 ()
India has docked two satellites in space to become the fourth nation in the world to achieve the mission in an ambitious milestone in the country’s expansion of space technology. The Indian Space Research Organization, or ISRO, said it maneuvered back together the two satellites, weighing 485 pounds each, during a “precision” space docking experiment, known as SpaDeX. It called the operation as a “historic moment.” In December, the satellites, Chaser and Target, blasted off on a single rocket from the country’s Sriharikota launch site. The mission was postponed twice earlier due to technical issues.
