The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), on Sunday, said that the two satellites which were launched by it to perform a space docking experiment have attempted a trial run and reached up to “15 metres and further to 3 metres”.

The space docking mission, SpaDeX, will see the Chaser satellite approach and dock with a Target satellite while both fly about 70 kilometres above Earth

ISRO launched two satellites, SDX01 (Chaser) and SDX02 (Target), for a space docking experiment. The satellites are 15 metres apart and in good condition. The mission aims to demonstrate in-space docking.

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 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
