ISRO has undertaken a twin satellite mission called SpaDeX to develop the orbital rendezvous, docking, and formation flying technologies for human spaceflight, in-space satellite servicing, and other proximity operations.

In-Space Docking
Docking in space is the process of two spacecraft physically joining together. It’s an important operation for maintaining a continuous human presence on the International Space Station (ISS).
How it Will Work?
- The docking mechanism works by “hugging” action, where the chaser satellite enters the target satellite and pulls the target towards the chaser.
- The satellites will also indicate successful connection with the ability to transfer power.
