    \n
  1. Recently, ISRO has taken a step forward towards sending Indian\u2019s to space by conducting the first \u2018pad abort\u2019 test.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Important facts:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

    2. The test was conducted at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.<\/p>\n

    3. The test proves that the agency can bail out future astronauts with their capsule in case of an early danger to them at the launch pad.<\/p>\n

    4. A 1,260 kg crew module lifted off propelled by seven complex rockets built unconventionally around it.<\/p>\n

    5. It reached a height of 2.7 km and curved down into the Bay of Bengal.<\/p>\n

    6. It landed in the sea at a distance of 2.9 km from the launch centre.<\/p>\n

    7. The model was retrieved later by three boats.<\/p>\n

    8. The Pad Abort Test(PAT) demonstrated the safe recovery of the crew module in case of any exigency at the launch pad.<\/p>\n

    9. PAT is a major technology demonstrator and the first in a series of tests to qualify a larger Crew Escape System of the future.<\/p>\n

    10. During the test, the teams from various centres tried out five new technologies such as those related to wireless satellite communication, navigation, Ka-band altimeter and telemetry.<\/p>\n

    11. Nearly 300 sensors recorded various functional aspects. More technology trials related to astronaut safety would be taken up later.<\/p>\n

    12. The escape mechanism activated when it sensed something wrong in the health of the mission or module.<\/p>\n

    13. The rockets powered by fast-acting solid fuels quickly eject the crew and the module.<\/p>\n

    14. Each of the seven motors that powered the crew module had a different role and worked in sequence- at low altitude, high altitude, for pitching the module away.<\/p>\n

    15. The U.S., Russia and China have already sent human missions as part of its research and development activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
