ISRO Successfully Conducts 2nd Integrated Air Drop Test for Gaganyaan Mission
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully conducted the second integrated air drop test (IADT-02) for the upcoming Gaganyaan mission at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh. The system is essential to ensure safe recovery of the crew module — the capsule in which astronauts sit during a human flight. After the module's release, a parachute system, comprising 10 parachutes, was deployed to slow down the module's descent. The test was conducted to validate the performance of the parachute system and ensure a safe recovery of the crew module. The ISRO has successfully completed the second integrated air drop test, paving the way for the upcoming Gaganyaan mission.
