ISRO's Rendezvous, Space docking and Berthing Experiment

Could the arrest of the drift happen quickly, and a docking attempt made within a few hours? Or would it more likely be a few days delay.

I'd wager on 24-48hrs delay.

How did the distance between the two increase by such margin ?

SpaDeX Docking Update:The drift has been arrested and spacecrafts put in a slow drift course to move closer to each other. By tomorrow, it is expected to reach initialisation conditions.

Dock first, then inform

SpaDeX Mission: Spacecraft 1.5 km apart, to come closer today, says ISRO

An ISRO official said, “After the last manoeuvre, the satellites drifted away, but they were safe. Now, we are re-attempting the entire process. There are certain fixed hold points, the satellites would be brought to these hold points again, before we attempt docking again.”

" With the docking experiment now having missed two publicly announced schedules- Jan 7th and Jan 9th,- the space agency has now decided to dock and inform the people"
