ISRO Tests Crew Module Uprighting System
High-pressure gas bags can flip the capsule upright if it lands tilted in the ocean.
TLDR
The Hindu reported that ISRO has tested a crew module uprighting system intended to protect astronauts after ocean impact. Should the capsule tip on splashdown, the system activates at once. High-pressure gas inflates built-in flotation bags that then turn the module upright and hold it steady. The goal is to keep the crew safe during recovery. The post credits video of the test to another account and notes a longer segment on the topic appears in an episode of The Scope on The Hindu's video platform.
