ISRO delays docking experiment

Posted: Sat, Jan 11, 2025, 10:36 AM ET (1536 GMT)
The Indian space agency ISRO postponed a planned docking experiment involving two satellites launched last week. ISRO said Wednesday it postponed the docking of the two Space Docking Experiment, or SpaDeX, satellites because the drift in their positions was "more than expected" as the spacecraft approached within 225 meters of each other. The docking was to take place later Wednesday after a two-day delay to provide more time for ground simulations. ISRO did not announce a new schedule for the docking, which is intended to test technologies for future crewed and robotic missions.
