In a series of new development, the Indian Space research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully conducted tests of an Inflatable Aerodynamic decelerator (IAD) that will be used for landing payloads on Mars and Venus in the foreseeable future. Informing about the tests and launch, ISRO tweeted, “ISRO successfully demonstrated the new technology with Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (IAD). IAD was test-flown today in a Rohini-sounding rocket from TERLS, Thumba.” Rohini sounding rockets are majorly used for flight demonstration of new technologies that are being developed by ISRO as well as by scientists from India and abroad.
