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.

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"

A rare blemish on our otherwise nearly impeccable record of putting satellites in near perfect orbit.

Arrested at Inter Satellite Distance (ISD) of 230 m, all sensors are being evaluated. Spacecraft's health is normal.

It was 250m before, now 230m.

If docking is not done in the next few days, the next available slot could be in March.

Seems ISRO not in hurry, ISRO leveraging this experiment to collect all data under different scenarios.
