Docking Mission Live Updates: "Arrested at Inter Satellite Distance (ISD) of 230 m, all sensors are being evaluated. Spacecraft's health is normal," ISRO said in an update on social media platform X.

India's space agency ISRO postponed a highly anticipated space docking mission for the second time late Wednesday. The agency cited an issue arising from excess drift between the satellites, without disclosing a new date for the docking.

ISRO intends to begin a controlled drift to bring the spacecraft closer, reducing the gap to 500 meters by tomorrow morning.

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.

The docking procedure of the SPADEX spacecrafts have been delayed by a couple of days, ISRO announced on January 6. Originally scheduled for January 7, the docking will now take place on January 9 after an abort scenario was identified by the mission team.

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.

The mission has experienced its second delay, originally scheduled for January 7 and then rescheduled to January 9.

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

In a recent update, ISRO announced the postponement of a critical docking operation as part of its Spadex mission. The docking, originally scheduled for January 9th at 8:11 AM, was delayed due to an unexpected drift detected after a scheduled period of non-visibility,
