Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements about Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (IAD)
- It is indigenously developed Air defence mechanism by DRDO.
- The decelerator in the system helps identify the acceleration of the incoming missiles.
- IAD can identify the speed of both cruise and ballistic missiles.
Choose the incorrect statements:
Correct
Solution (d)
Statement Analysis
Option d Correct · Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator or IAD in short is a technique used for an atmospheric entry payload. An inflatable envelope and an inflatant (anything that inflates the envelope, like air or helium) make up the inflatable aerodynamic decelerator. · While entering the atmosphere, it inflates like a balloon and decelerates the lander.
· The inflatant is designed to fill the inflatable envelope to a condition such that it surrounds the payload meant to enter the atmosphere of a planet or satellite and causes aerodynamic forces to slow it down.
· In simpler words, IAD is designed to increase drag upon entering the atmosphere of any planetary body, like Earth, Mars, or even Moon. Its shape is maintained by a closed, gas-pressured body and the inflatant gas is also generated internally.
Context: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) declared that it has successfully demonstrated the new technology with Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (IAD).
