NEW DELHI, Apr 10: Space agency ISRO has successfully conducted the second integrated air drop test (IADT-02) for the upcoming Gaganyaan mission at the space station in Andhra Pradesh\u2019s Sriharikota.
\nThe system is essential to ensure safe recovery of the crew module \u2014 the capsule in which astronauts sit during a human flight \u2014 during re-entry and landing.
\nUnion Minister Jitendra Singh congratulated the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for successfully conducting the test.
\n\u201cCongratulations #ISRO for the successful accomplishment of Second Integrated Air Drop Test (IADT-02) for #Gaganyaan, India\u2019s first Human Space flight scheduled next year. The second Integrated Air Drop Test (IADT-02) was successfully conducted at Satish Dhawan Space Station Sriharikota,\u201d Singh said in a post on X.
\nThe IADT-02 follows the successful completion of the first IADT, which took place on August 24, 2025 at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
\nAir drop tests recreate the last leg of a spacecraft\u2019s return to the Earth. An aircraft or helicopter drops the spacecraft from a height to test various systems under different scenarios.
\nThese are the deployment of the parachute system in case the mission is aborted mid-flight, system performance when one parachute fails to open, and the spacecraft\u2019s orientation and safety during splashdown, etc.
\nIn the first IADT, a 4.8-tonne dummy crew module was dropped from a height of three km by a Chinook helicopter.
\nAfter the module\u2019s release, a parachute system, comprising 10 parachutes, was deployed, helping the capsule decelerate to a safe splashdown speed.<\/p>\n
