India's space agency ISRO postponed a highly anticipated space docking mission for the second time late Wednesday. The agency cited an issue arising from excess drift between the satellites, without disclosing a new date for the docking.

India postponed its first attempt to dock two SpaDex satellites in Earth orbit from Jan. 6 until Jan. 9, to allow more time for tests.

India postponed by a couple of days on Monday a highly-anticipated space docking experiment that would see it become the fourth country in the world to achieve a feat essential for expanding future deep space exploratory missions.

India launched its first space docking mission on Monday, on an Indian-made rocket, in an attempt to become the fourth country to achieve the advanced technological feat.

ISRO has delayed the docking of two satellites in its Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) due to unexpected drift detected during maneuvers. Originally set for January 7, the mission aims to demonstrate in-space docking technology,

India's space agency says it is planning a record 10 orbital missions, as well as its first commercial effort, during 2025 after successfully launching a space-docking project this week.

India has postponed a key space docking experiment by a few days. This delay was due to the need for additional validation through ground simulations after an abort scenario was identified. Achieving this docking would make India the fourth nation to accomplish this in space exploration.

ISRO will carryout its ambitious space docking experiment using two satellites on orbit, on January 9. The event was scheduled on January 7 but postponed to Thursday morning. If the ISRO succeeds in its mission,
