India's Gaganyaan mission features a Crew Escape System, the final safety net for astronauts during launch. This system's powerful motors can swiftly detach the crew module from a malfunctioning rocket. ISRO has successfully tested this 'puller' design in flight, which can detect emergencies in milliseconds. The system's development draws from historical launch escape systems, ensuring the safety of India's first human spaceflight mission.
