India conducts historic space docking test successfully

The articles highlight India's achievement in successfully conducting an unmanned docking in space. This milestone positions India as a global space power, joining an elite group of countries that have developed and tested this capability, including the United States, Russia, and China. The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) accomplished this feat by successfully joining two small spacecraft, SpaDeX, in space. The mission involved launching the two spacecraft on a single rocket from the Sriharikota launch pad in southern India, with the spacecraft separating in space and then re-docking after several rescheduled attempts.
Congratulations to our scientists at ISRO and the entire space fraternity for the successful demonstration of space docking of satellites. It is a significant stepping stone for India's ambitious space missions in the years to come.
They were thrown into space together but at the time of separation, they were placed with different velocity to allow them to build a distance of 10-20km between them.
During docking, scientists manoeuvred them to close that distance allowing them to mate.
