India hopes to become one of the four countries with this technology after Russia, the US and China.
On December 30, the Indian Space Agency launched the PSLV 60 launch vehicle with two satellites on board. The BBC reported it.
The launch took place from a spaceport north of Chennai.
Aboard the rocket are two satellites that will conduct a docking experiment in space.
It is noted that docking is critical for manned missions to the Moon or maintaining the space station.
ISRO chief Sridhara Somanath confirmed that the rocket launched the satellites into the designated orbit.
On December 31, the spacecraft began the testing process. While the final docking will take place on approximately January 7.
India hopes to become one of the four countries with this technology after Russia, the US and China.
Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced plans to send a man to the moon by 2040.
We remind you that India plans to focus on the collection and processing of space data, as well as the production and launch of small satellites.
Recently, India successfully launched the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), which launched the XPoSat satellite into orbit.
India also reportedly plans to launch a humanoid female robot into space.
