In 2025, ISRO carried out a successful deployment sequence test of its parachute system. This test was conducted for which upcoming Indian human spaceflight mission?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Gaganyaan

Explanation:
• In 2025, ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) successfully conducted a series of Integrated Main Parachute Deployment tests for the Gaganyaan mission.
• The parachute system is critical for the safe recovery of the Crew Module during its descent back to Earth.
• The system consists of ten parachutes, including two apex cover separation parachutes, two drogue parachutes, three pilot parachutes, and three main parachutes.
• These tests simulate various failure conditions and the performance of the redundant systems to ensure astronaut safety.
• The deployment sequence was validated at the ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC) or through rail track rocket sled facilities.

Information Booster:
• The Gaganyaan mission aims to demonstrate India's human spaceflight capability by sending a three-member crew to an orbit of 400 km for a three-day mission.
• LVM3 (Launch Vehicle Mark 3) is the heavy-lift launcher identified for the Gaganyaan mission.

Additional Knowledge:
Venus Orbiter-2 (Option a)
• This refers to Shukrayaan, ISRO's planned mission to study the atmosphere of Venus.
Lunar Explorer-4 (Option b)
• This is related to the LUPEX mission or future Chandrayaan missions aimed at lunar exploration.
Solar Probe-1 (Option d)
• This typically refers to missions like Aditya-L1, India's first dedicated solar mission to study the Sun.

So the correct answer is (c)
