crew safety system connected to a space capsule, used to quickly separate the capsule from its launch vehicle rocket in case of a launch abort emergency
Human space exploration vehicles must be designed with a reliable and safe launch escape system to be activated in the event of a failure on the pad or at altitude.
NASA's new crew ships -- the agency's Orion deep space exploration vehicle and the Boeing and SpaceX space station ferry ships -- are being designed from the ground up with escape systems that could pull or push a crew to safety at any point from launch to orbit.
Orion's Launch Abort System, or LAS, consists of a payload fairing that covers the entire capsule and a tower with three separate rocket motors: an abort motor, an attitude control motor, and a jettison motor.
