ISRO: The Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory (TBRL) in Chandigarh served as the site for the Rail Track Rocket Sled deployment tests of the Gaganyaan Pilot and Apex Cover Separation (ACS) parachutes in cluster configurations. The first test, according to an official release from Isro, mimicked the clustered deployment of two pilot parachutes. Whereas the second was treated to a maximum angle with respect to flow circumstances, the first was given a minimum angle.
