In 2025, which mission made India the fourth country to successfully demonstrate space docking ?
SpaDeX
The Space Docking Experiment of ISRO was launched on PSLV-C60 on 30 December 2024 with two small satellites, SDX01 (Chaser) and SDX02 (Target).
On 16 January 2025 the two satellites were successfully docked in orbit, making India the fourth country after the USA, Russia and China to demonstrate space docking.
Aditya-L1 is a solar observatory, Gaganyaan is the human spaceflight programme and Chandrayaan-3 was a lunar landing mission, so they are not docking missions.
Hence, SpaDeX.
