SpaDeX Docking Postponed Again: ISRO Defers Docking Maneuver for Its Space Docking Experiment for Second Time, Both Satellites Safe

ISRO’s Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) has encountered a setback again. An unexpected drift between the Chaser (SDX01) and Target (SDX02) satellites during a separation maneuver has prompted ISRO to postpone the docking attempt for the second time. The docking of two satellites was scheduled for tomorrow morning. In a post on X on Wednesday, January 8, ISRO said: “While making a maneuver to reach 225 m between satellites the drift was found to be more than expected, post non-visibility period. The planned docking for tomorrow is postponed. Satellites are safe.” What Is SpaDeX or Space Docking Experiment? Know All About ISRO’s Final Mission in 2024.
