In case of aborting the mission at the time of the initial phase of flight, the LEM would provide the specified thrust to the crew escape system in order to take away the crew module from the launch vehicle.

The static tests have main objectives such as to calculate the motor ballistic parameters, validate motor subsystem performance and make sure the design margins are good and to validate the integrity of all interfaces, among others.

Meanwhile, the country's space agency had come up with a creative plan of showcasing digital content about various ISRO missions in an interactive manner. On Wednesday, ISRO Chairman S Somanath had launched the virtual space museum SPARK for public use.

The Bengaluru-headquartered space agency has mentioned that “the platform would be hosting many documents, pictures and videos associated with ISRO launch vehicles, satellites and scientific missions.”

Somanath, the Secretary in the Department of Space, and Directors of different ISRO centres appreciated the initiative taken and recommended more 'non-sensitive' digital content that need to be brought on this platform for the use by different stakeholders.
