The maneuver to bring the satellites to a distance of 500 metres from each other is likely to be achieved on Saturday, the agency said in a statement.

ISRO's SpaDeX mission takes a crucial step forward despite delays, as the spacecraft begin a slow drift course to prepare for India's first space docking experiment.

India's space agency ISRO postponed a highly anticipated space docking mission for the second time late Wednesday.

The two satellites launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for a space docking experiment may soon attain the conditions needed to commence the mission. The docking experiment, originally scheduled for Thursday, was postponed after the satellites drifted more than expected during a manoeuvre to reduce the distance between them.

Sharing the timeline over SpaDex mission, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Tuesday said that the drifts between the satellites involved in the docking experiment have been arrested and the conditons for the docking initialisation experiment will likely begin tomorrow.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced a delay in its ambitious Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX), owing to an unexpected drift between the two mission satellites. The issue was identified during a maneuver aimed at reducing the distance between the satellites to 225 meters.

ISRO has delayed the docking of two satellites in its Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) due to unexpected drift detected during maneuvers. Originally set for January 7, the mission aims to demonstrate in-space docking technology,

ISRO's space docking experiment has so far missed two publicly announced schedules, on January 7 and January 9.

ISRO is planning to carry out its ambitious space docking experiment using two satellites in orbit. If the ISRO succeeds in its mission, India will become the
