This technology is said to be essential for India’s future ambitious space station construction and various space missions. India is conducting missions like Chandrayaan-4 and Gaganyaan. Under this, the Chandrayaan-4 mission plans to bring lunar soil samples to Earth and the Gaganyaan mission plans to send humans into space.

ISRO launched the Space Docking Experiment mission from Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota at 10 pm on December 30. Under this, two spacecraft were deployed 470 km above the Earth with the help of the ‘PSLV-C60 rocket.

Earlier, docking was postponed due to technical problems on January 7 and 9. On January 12, the spacecraft was brought within three meters and then returned to a safe distance.
