And heartening for every Indian,” he added.<\/p>\n The Minister said Prime Minster Narendra Modi’s “continuous patronage keeps the spirits soaring”.<\/p>\n The SpaDeX mission was launched on December 30 last year from Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota launch site. The ISRO subsequently placed two satellites – SDX01 and SDX02 – in orbit to demonstrate the docking experiment in space.<\/p>\n The space agency then\u00a0successfully docked the two satellites<\/a>,\u00a0weighing 220 kilograms each, on January 16.<\/p>\n ISRO successfully completed docking of two SPADEX satellites (SDX-01 & SDX-02) in the early hours of 16 January, 2025.#SPADEX<\/a> #ISRO<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/UJrWpMLxmh<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ISRO (@isro) January 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n India became the fourth nation to achieve the milestone after Russia, the US and China.<\/p>\n \u200bThe Indian space agency, ISRO, on Thursday accomplished de-docking of the SpaDeX satellites, clearing the way for future missions such as exploring the moon, human spaceflight, and building its space station.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Indian space agency, ISRO, on Thursday accomplished de-docking of the SpaDeX satellites, clearing the way for the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":94404,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/i0vah21_isro-de-docking_625x300_13_March_25-3O8vAT.jpeg",1200,738,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/i0vah21_isro-de-docking_625x300_13_March_25-3O8vAT-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/i0vah21_isro-de-docking_625x300_13_March_25-3O8vAT-300x185.jpeg",300,185,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/i0vah21_isro-de-docking_625x300_13_March_25-3O8vAT-768x472.jpeg",640,393,true],"large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/i0vah21_isro-de-docking_625x300_13_March_25-3O8vAT-1024x630.jpeg",640,394,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/i0vah21_isro-de-docking_625x300_13_March_25-3O8vAT.jpeg",1200,738,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/i0vah21_isro-de-docking_625x300_13_March_25-3O8vAT.jpeg",1200,738,false],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/i0vah21_isro-de-docking_625x300_13_March_25-3O8vAT-825x575.jpeg",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/i0vah21_isro-de-docking_625x300_13_March_25-3O8vAT-590x410.jpeg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"","author_link":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/?author=0"},"category_info":"Uncategorized<\/a>","tag_info":"Uncategorized","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=94403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/94404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=94403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=94403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=94403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
