ISRO successfully tested Gaganyaan's drogue parachutes under extreme conditions, a key step toward human spaceflight.
ISRO successfully completed qualification tests for the drogue parachutes used in the Gaganyaan crew module on December 18 and 19, 2025, at Chandigarh’s Rail Track Rocket Sled facility.
The tests validated the parachutes’ performance under extreme and variable flight conditions during re-entry, confirming their reliability in stabilizing and slowing the module.
The Gaganyaan descent system uses 10 parachutes in a sequence: apex cover, drogue, pilot, and main parachutes.
The results mark a key milestone in preparing the full parachute system for human spaceflight, with support from ISRO, DRDO, and other research labs.
