Explained: What is Gaganyaan’s abort test and how will it ensure crew safety?

Firstpost  

Abort missions are instances when the crew needs to escape the spacecraft mid-flight in case of a failure. In the planned abort missions, ISRO will be testing the systems that can help the crew in such a situation To ensure crew safety on India’s first manned flight to space in 2024, the Indian Space Research Organisation will be conducting two unmanned ‘abort missions’. According to a report by The Indian Express, ISRO already conducted a pad abort test in 2018, in which the crew can escape from the spacecraft in case of an emergency at the launch pad. In the December abort mission, ISRO will launch the crew module to a higher altitude and will repeat a similar scenario to perfect the system.
