After feat for private sector, ISRO parachute test in ‘milestone’ for Gaganyaan
After India's first privately built rocket was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation on Friday, the space agency carried out another test which, it stressed, ?marks a significant milestone toward realising the nation's ambitious Gaganyaan project?. It's the first project taken up by ISRO to demonstrate the human space flight capability. This is the first in a series of tests which have been planned to simulate different failure conditions for the human spaceflight mission.
