ISRO completes key parachute drop test for Gaganyaan mission

On Tuesday, ISRO carried out a vital Integrated Main Parachute Airdrop Test (IMAT) for its Gaganyaan mission at the ADRDE facility in Madhya Pradesh. The trial was designed to evaluate the main parachute system, which is responsible for decelerating the crew capsule ahead of its ocean landing, ensuring it can withstand the highest anticipated stress levels.
