India has become the 4th country—after the US, Russia, and China—to demonstrate space docking and undocking capabilities.ISRO autonomously undocked two satellites i.e., SDX01 (the Chaser) and SDX02 (the Target) in space, reinforcing India’s ability to conduct complex orbital maneuvers essential for future space missions.Space Docking is a process where two spacecraft in orbit are progressively brought closer and joined together.It allows for assembling heavy spacecraft in space, which cannot be launched in a single mission due to weight limitations.Space undocking refers to the process of separating a spacecraft from a space station or another spacecraft.
