The drogue chutes will next be tested during a high-altitude abort test on Test Vehicle Demonstration 1 inThe Gaganyaan crew module will be decelerated by a complex system of 10 parachutes, according to ISRO. These are two apex cover separation parachutes, followed by a pair of drogue parachutes to stabilize the module.
