Minister of State for Space Affairs Jitendra Singh wrote on Twitter on this success, “India becomes the fourth country to join the list of select countries to take steps towards space docking capability through its indigenously developed ‘Indian Docking System’ It has become.”

ISRO said that SPADEX (Space Docking Experiment) is a pioneering mission to establish India’s capability in orbital docking, a critical technology for future human spaceflight and satellite servicing missions.
Mastering space docking technology can help India not only join the exclusive club of spacefaring nations.
