Gaganyaan: Isro will attempt air drop test using chopper, pad abort planned too
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning an integrated air drop test for its Gaganyaan mission, following a successful in-flight abort test. The test will involve dropping the crew module from a helicopter and will help understand the impact from various heights and velocities. Once the air drop test is completed, ISRO will conduct a pad abort test to simulate an anomaly while the vehicle is still on the launch pad. These tests are part of ISRO's preparations for its ambitious goals of establishing a space station by 2035 and sending humans to the Moon by 2040.
