The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Indian Navy successfully conducted "Well Deck" recovery trials for the Gaganyaan mission near Visakhapatnam. Held aboard a well-deck ship of the Eastern Naval Command, the test simulated the recovery of the Crew Module, vital for astronaut safety during re-entry. Key operations included attaching a recovery buoy, towing the module, and securing it in the well deck. This trial validated procedures and refined SOPs for recovery scenarios. As India moves closer to its first human spaceflight, this collaboration marks significant progress in space exploration.
