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.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced a delay in its ambitious Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX), owing to an unexpected drift between the two mission satellites. The issue was identified during a maneuver aimed at reducing the distance between the satellites to 225 meters.

The initial docking attempt was scheduled for January 6 but was pushed back to January 9 due to the need for further ground simulations to validate the docking process.

ISRO has once again postponed the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDEx) involving two satellites, citing excessive drift during a crucial manoeuvre.

The space organisation had initially planned the docking for January 7 forenoon, but rescheduled it to January 9. It now stands postponed again.

The experiment, scheduled for January 7 and later rescheduled for January 9, was postponed on Wednesday after ISRO detected an unexpected drift between the two participating satellites during a critical phase.
