India Joins Elite Club With ISRO’s SpaDeX Space Docking Success | Firstpost Spotlight India achieved a historic milestone in space exploration. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully executed its Space Docking Experiment (SpadeX), docking two satellites—Chaser and Target—in orbit. This achievement makes India only the fourth nation globally, after the US, Russia, and China, to master this critical technology. Docking enables the assembly of spacecraft, transfer of crew, and construction of space stations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated ISRO scientists, calling the docking a significant step toward India’s ambitious space missions, including its planned Bharatiya Space Station by 2035 and a crewed mission to the Moon by 2040.
