印度太空研究組織成功完成載人航太任務測試
India's Space Agency Conducts Successful Test for Human Spaceflight Mission
印度的太空計畫已達成重要的里程碑。
India has reached a major milestone in its ambitious space program.
2026年4月9日，印度太空研究組織（ISRO）在薩蒂什‧達萬太空中心成功進行了第二次整合空投測試（IADT-02）。
On April 9, 2026, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully carried out the second Integrated Air Drop Test (IADT-02) at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.
此次測試是Gaganyaan任務的關鍵一步，該任務為印度預計於2027年啟動的首次載人太空飛行計畫。
This trial is a vital step for the Gaganyaan mission, India's first human spaceflight initiative expected in 2027.
此次測試的主要目標是驗證載人模組（CM）的回收系統。
The primary goal of this test was to validate the Crew Module (CM) recovery systems.
工程師們從飛機上投下了一個模擬模組，以測試其基於降落傘的減速系統和濺落程序，確保能夠安全返回地球。
Engineers dropped a simulated module from an aircraft to test its parachute-based deceleration systems and splashdown procedures, ensuring a safe return to Earth.
這些空投被視為至關重要的「演練」，使ISRO能夠改善正常著陸及緊急應變系統。
These drops act as crucial 'dress rehearsals,' allowing ISRO to refine both normal landing and emergency systems.
鑒於其目標是將太空人送入距離地球400公里的低軌道，安全是該機構的首要任務。
With a target to send astronauts into a 400-kilometer Low Earth Orbit, safety is the agency’s highest priority.
通過完善這些複雜的多降落傘降落序列，ISRO展現了載人任務所需的極致工程精度。
By perfecting these complex, multi-parachute descent sequences, ISRO demonstrates the extreme engineering precision required for human missions.
這次成功不僅展示了印度在技術上的成熟度，也使該國更接近加入那些能夠獨立將人類送入太空的精英國家行列。
This success not only showcases India's technological maturity but also moves the nation closer to joining the elite group of countries capable of launching humans into space independently.
