ISRO successfully tested drogue parachutes of the Gaganyaan Crew Module at Rail Track Rocket Sled (RTRS) in Chandigarh. The module's deceleration system uses 10 parachutes of 4 types: apex cover parachutes remove protective cover, drogue parachutes stabilise and slow the module, and pilot parachutes deploy main parachutes for a safe landing. ISRO will launch Gaganyaan mission in 2026.
