India launches its first space docking mission

India has successfully launched its first space docking mission, SpaDeX, on an Indian-made rocket. The mission, which lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, is a significant achievement for India, placing it in the exclusive group of four countries to have achieved this milestone, including the US, China, and Russia. The SpaDeX mission involves two satellites that have been placed in orbit, marking a crucial step towards India's future space endeavors. The in-space docking technology used in this mission will be pivotal for future space missions requiring multiple rocket launches, as it will enable the docking of satellites in orbit, opening up new possibilities for space exploration and development.
