The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced a delay in its ambitious Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX), owing to an unexpected drift between the two mission satellites. The issue was identified during a maneuver aimed at reducing the distance between the satellites to 225 meters.

India's space agency ISRO postponed a highly anticipated space docking mission for the second time late Wednesday.

In a recent update, ISRO announced the postponement of a critical docking operation as part of its Spadex mission. The docking, originally scheduled for January 9th at 8:11 AM, was delayed due to an unexpected drift detected after a scheduled period of non-visibility,

ISRO has delayed the docking of two satellites in its Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) due to unexpected drift detected during maneuvers. Originally set for January 7, the mission aims to demonstrate in-space docking technology,

BENGALURU: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has postponed the much-awaited docking of two satellites under the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission citing that the drift of one satellite towards the other was “more than expected”.

The mission has experienced its second delay, originally scheduled for January 7 and then rescheduled to January 9.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will attempt the docking of its SpaDeX satellites on January 9. The SpaDeX mission, short for Space Docking Experiment, consists of two satellites: chaser satellite (SDX01) and target satellite (SDX02).

The space organisation had initially planned the docking for January 7 forenoon, but rescheduled it to January 9. It now stands postponed again.

ISRO has once again postponed the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDEx) involving two satellites, citing excessive drift during a crucial manoeuvre.

The experiment, scheduled for January 7 and later rescheduled for January 9, was postponed on Wednesday after ISRO detected an unexpected drift between the two participating satellites during a critical phase.
