PM Modi congratulates ISRO for the successful demonstration of space docking of satellites

| Published on:

Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi on 16 January congratulated ISRO and the entire space fraternity for the successful demonstration of space docking of satellites. Shri Modi remarked that it is a significant stepping stone for India’s ambitious space missions in the years to come.

The Prime Minister posted on X: “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.”

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully docked two SPADEX satellites in space, approximately 475 kilometres above sea level. ISRO said the mission demonstrated India’s ability to dock craft in space. It becomes the fourth country to do so, after the US, China, and Russia.

The SpaDeX mission launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on December 30, 2024. The two spacecraft, launched via an ISRO-developed Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), separated in space.

After the two 220-kilogram satellites completed the docking process, they transferred electrical power before separating and activating their payloads.
