The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully undocked the SDX-01 and SDX-02 satellites under its Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission. This milestone is crucial for future missions, including Chandrayaan-4, the Bharatiya Antriksh Station, and Gaganyaan. The undocking involved precise maneuvers, including the disengagement of capture levers and issuing decapture commands. Launched on December 30, 2024, SpaDeX demonstrated India's growing expertise in orbital rendezvous, docking, and separation. The Minister of Science and Technology praised the achievement, calling it a proud moment for India. With this, India joins the US, Russia, and China in mastering advanced space docking technologies.
