Today’s test flight was to assess the mid-flight crew escape system in case of any malfunction. Today’s demonstration has shown the capabilities of the Indians in the journey of space exploration. The TV-D1 vehicle uses a modified version of the VIKAS engine, having a crew module and a crew escape system in the front.
