India docked two satellites in space on Thursday, marking a key milestone for the country’s ambitions of a space station and manned Moon mission, the space agency announced. The satellites, each weighing 220 kilograms (485 pounds), were launched in December from India’s Sriharikota launch site aboard a single rocket. They later separated.
