The fully inflated main parachutes reduced the payload speed to a safe landing speed and the payload mass landed softly on the ground in a sequence that lasted about 3 minutes.

The test marks a significant milestone toward accomplishing the Gaganyaan project (3/3)

This test simulated the case when the main parachute fails to open.

A 5-ton dummy mass (equivalent to the Crew module mass), was dropped from 2.5 km using @IAF_MCC's IL-76 Aircraft. Two small pyro-based mortar-deployed pilot parachutes then pulled the Main parachutes (2/3)
