They explained that the deployment of the drogue parachutes is a crucial part of the system, as these parachutes play a vital role in stabilising the Crew Module and reducing its velocity to a safe level during re-entry into Earth’s orbit and during splashdown.“The objective of this specific test series was to rigorously evaluate the performance and reliability of the drogue parachutes under extreme conditions. We have achieved all the test objectives and have confirmed their robustness even under the situation of significant variation in flight conditions,” the researchers said.Earlier in August, ISRO conducted the first Integrated Air Drop Test to ensure the safety of crew recovery as part of the Gaganyaan mission. Another test on the main parachutes for the Gaganyaan Crew Module was conducted in November at the Babina Field Firing Range in Jhansi. This test was part of the Integrated Main Parachute Drop Test to ascertain the qualification of the parachute system for the mission.In July, the ISRO team also carried out service module propulsion system hot tests to verify and ascertain the performance of engines and thrusters in space, particularly during boosting and de-boosting phases.
