Deccan ChronicleIndia has joined an exclusive club alongside the United States, Russia, and China by demonstrating its ability to accomplish highly critical manoeuvres of docking and undocking satellites in space. The Space Docking Experiment, a twin-satellite mission, was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation on December 30, 2024, to demonstrate technologies related to orbital rendezvous, docking, formation flying, and undocking. As the two satellites were travelling at 28,800 kilometres per hour, or 8 kilometres per second, Isro had to perform meticulous calculations for docking. Apart from civilian applications and space exploration, mastery of docking and undocking technologies could also play a crucial role in developing anti-satellite capabilities.
