Spadex De Docking

A rare celestial dance is being orchestrated by the Indian Space Research Organisation - two satellites - flying at 28,800 kilometers per hour or speeds ten times that of a bullet - are circling each other in precision formation flight.

The Indian space agency, ISRO, on Thursday accomplished de-docking of the SpaDeX satellites, clearing the way for future missions such as exploring the moon, human spaceflight, and building its space station.
