The crew module's main test on Thursday was to successfully return into the earth's atmosphere and drop at a designated spot in Bay of Bengal, which it successfully did. And what allowed it to perform this task flawlessly was the advanced parachute system designed and developed by Aerial Delivery Research and Development Establishment (ADRDE ) in Agra, a DRDO lab.
DRDO officials said that the parachute "proved the efficacy and reliability by functioning perfectly and achieving the required descent rate. Even Isro has expressed happiness."
While the parachute system came from DRDO, the crew module's structural assembly was developed by HAL in Bengaluru. HAL handed over the crew module to Isro in February this year, following which Isro integrated with guidance and control systems and navigation systems.
The crew module will be further equipped with systems necessary for crew support when it is really used for transporting humans, as is the plan with the manned mission.
Isro is making considerable progress in the proposed Rs 12,500 crore Human Spaceflight Programme (HSP), whose objective is to carry a crew of two to the low earth orbit (LEO) and return them safely.
The space agency has received Rs 149 crore for pre project activities and is focused on developing critical technologies for subsystems such as environmental control and life support system (ECLSS), crew escape system, et al.
