Bengaluru: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has once again postponed its ambitious Space Docking Experiment (SpaDEx), citing unexpected drift during a crucial manoeuvre.

India has postponed its anticipated space docking experiment by two days, aiming to join the ranks of countries capable of performing complex missions vital for deep space exploration. The delay allows further validation through simulations.

India launched its first space docking mission on Monday, on an Indian-made rocket, in an attempt to become the fourth country to achieve the advanced technological feat.

ISRO will carryout its ambitious space docking experiment using two satellites on orbit, on January 9. The event was scheduled on January 7 but postponed to Thursday morning. If the ISRO succeeds in its mission,
