Successful accomplishment of key development test in Integrated Main Parachute Airdrop Test (IMAT) series for Gaganyaan mission
November 11, 2025
ISRO has successfully conducted an important test on Main Parachutes for the Gaganyaan Crew Module at the Babina Field Firing Range (BFFR), Jhansi, U.P. on November 03, 2025. This test is the part of the ongoing series of Integrated Main Parachute Airdrop Tests (IMAT) for the qualification of parachute system for Gaganyaan Mission.

For the Gaganyaan Crew Module, the parachute system comprises a total of 10 parachutes of 4 types. The descent sequence begins with two apex cover separation parachutes that remove the protective cover of the parachute compartment, followed by two drogue parachutes that stabilize and decelerate the module. Upon release of the drogues, three pilot parachutes are deployed to extract three main parachutes, which further slow down the Crew Module to ensure a safe touchdown. The system is designed with redundancy—two of the three main parachutes are sufficient to achieve a safe landing.
The main parachutes of the Gaganyaan mission deploy in a step-by-step process known as reefed inflation. In this process, the parachute first opens partially, which is called reefing, and then fully opens after a predetermined period of time, known as disreefing. This process is carried out using pyro device.
In this test, the one of the possible extreme scenarios of delay in the disreefing between the two main parachutes was successfully demonstrated validating the main parachutes for the maximum design. The test evaluated the system's structural integrity and load distribution under asymmetric disreefing conditions—one of the most critical load scenarios expected during actual mission descent.
A simulated mass equivalent to the Crew Module was dropped from an altitude of 2.5 km using the Indian Air Force's IL-76 aircraft. The parachute system deployed as planned and the sequence was executed flawlessly, and the test article achieved a stable descent and soft landing, validating the robustness of the parachute design.
The successful completion of this test marks another significant step toward qualifying the parachute system for human spaceflight, with active participation from the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), ISRO, Aerial Delivery Research and Development Establishment (ADRDE), DRDO, Indian Air Force and the Indian Army.

Successful accomplishment of Drogue Parachute Deployment Tests for Gaganyaan
^{December 20, 2025}

ISRO has successfully completed a series of qualification tests for Drogue Parachutes for the development of deceleration system of Gaganyaan Crew Module at the Rail Track Rocket Sled (RTRS) facility of the Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory (TBRL), Chandigarh, during December 18-19, 2025.

The deceleration system of Gaganyaan Crew Module comprises of a total of 10 parachutes of 4 types. The descent sequence begins with two apex cover separation parachutes that remove the protective cover of the parachute compartment, followed by two drogue parachutes that stabilize and decelerate the module. Upon release of the drogues, three pilot parachutes are deployed to extract three main parachutes, which further slow down the Crew Module to ensure a safe touchdown.

A crucial component of this system is the deployment of drogue parachutes, which play a pivotal role in stabilizing the Crew Module and also reducing its velocity to a safe level during re-entry.

The objective of this specific test series was to rigorously evaluate the performance and reliability of the drogue parachutes under extreme conditions. Both the RTRS tests on drogue parachutes were successfully conducted on December 18 & 19, 2025 achieving all the test objectives and confirming their robustness even under the situation of significant variation in flight conditions.

The successful completion of these tests marks another significant step toward qualifying the parachute system for human spaceflight, with active support and participation from the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), ISRO, Aerial Delivery Research and Development Establishment (ADRDE), DRDO and Terminal Ballistic Research Laboratory (TBRL), DRDO.

A new #NOTAM designated A0231/26, has been issued for the period of 27 January through 15 February 2026; while the official description is standard, current analysis and comparisons with previous NOTAM profiles strongly suggest this window is reserved for the Integrated Air Drop Test (IADT-02), a critical milestone for the Gaganyaan mission. #Gaganyaan #IADT02 #ISRO

Это испытание на срабатывание САС при maxQ?

Это испытание на срабатывание САС при maxQ?

Вертолётный сброс.
Судя по ограничению высоты 3,5 км.(12'000FT), это не про maxQ.
