What was Dr. Kalam like as a teammate? In the year 1967, he came with an idea that who knows, tomorrow we will be making very big rockets. Now, these rockets may have to be recovered for reuse. Why not we do some experiment on that? We designed a system, a canister, which will resemble a rocket body. In that canister, we had a parachute and a float cable which is tying around the parachute, and a cable cutter, and there is a lid. All those things were packed. We took it by an aircraft. At that altitude, he dropped the canister from there. There is a Timer integrated into the canister. At five seconds, the lid was blasted off. Then the entire parachute tied up all came out. Then after 10, the second, the cable was cut off. Then the parachute got deployed and the entire parachute was coming slowly, landing on the Arabian Sea. This all experiment took place in 1967. What he did at that time became a reality after 53 years. That will explain to you who is Kalam.
