The country's space agency successfully docked spacecraft in orbit, marking a significant milestone in India's extraterrestrial ambitions.
The two satellites of the Indian Space Research Organization 's (ISRO) Space Docking Experiment, or SpaDex, successfully met up in Earth orbit yesterday (Jan. 15), making India just the fourth country to pull off an in-space docking.
