ISRO Delays SpaDeX Mission to January 9 for Additional Ground Tests

ISRO announced on Monday that it has postponed the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission to January 9 to conduct more ground simulations after identifying an "abort scenario." The mission aims to make India the fourth country, after the US, Russia, and China, to achieve successful satellite docking. The satellite was launched on December 30, and the docking was initially planned for January 7. Officials said the delay will help improve accuracy through additional simulations.
