REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File PhotoIndia postponed by a couple of days on Monday a highly-anticipated space docking experiment that would see it become the fourth country in the world to achieve a feat essential for expanding future deep space exploratory missions. "The docking process requires further validation through ground simulations based on an abort scenario identified today," India's space agency ISRO said, without giving further details. The experiment, crucial for satellite servicing, space station operations, and interplanetary missions, positions India to play a significant role in the commercial and exploratory frontiers of space.
