ISRO's Rendezvous, Space docking and Berthing Experiment

[Anants]

It is not case of data.

We are finding docking more difficult than we thought.

Or we would have required more instrumentation for precise maneuver than anticipated. I wonder if Lasers are being used for alignment and what are the arrangements for aligning - how different/same aligning mechanism is being used in other programs.

We actually achieved alignment after few attempts. Our own safety system separated satellites away.

So was it because of approach velocity?

Even here, the language is confusing. Successful docking or successful attempt at docking?

ISRO successfully executes fourth satellite docking attempt under Spadex Mission

On Sunday (January 12), ISRO carried out a trial attempt by bringing both the Chaser and Target satellites three metres closer to each other. Afterwards, the satellites were moved apart to safer distances. The space agency is analysing the data for successfully carrying out docking soon.

Very few news outlets have picked up the news. I guess waiting for confirmation

He rebadged the news from Jan 12 attempt

This sounds more precise. ISRO will wait to make official announcement

ISRO successfully docks two satellites in space, India fourth country to achieve feat after US, Russia, China

The first actual Indian mission requiring the docking capability is likely to be Chandrayaan-4, which is supposed to bring lunar samples back to Earth.
