The Space capsule Recovery Experiment [SRE] was conducted by the Indian Space Research Organisation [ISRO] to test features & technologies, among them, the survivability of heat shield tiles covering the outer surface of the capsule from the intense heat generated due to friction upon its re-entry into the Earth's orbit.

Upon successful completion of the experiments, these tiles would be used to cover the outer surface of the re-entry capsule to be used in India's manned space mission and also the Space Shuttle [Reusable Launch Vehicle] that is being developed as part of a project ISRO has undertaken.

I dont understand our Space Capsule can fly to space without an launch vehicle and that to upside down and return back to splash on sea? lol

But great find as usual mate, this shows they have already tested the heat shield successfully.

@KarthikSoun the animation begins when the capsule had started the deboost phase of its mission & had entered the Earth's atmosphere after orbiting the Earth for 12 days where it was placed by a PSLV launch.

Ofcourse it flew with a rocket n this upside down design makes it more aerodynamic
