Summary
Crew Module
• Provides safe habitat for crew
• Allows reentry and landing as
a stand alone module Launch Abort System
• Docks and transfers crew
• Safely removes the crew from
launch vehicle in an emergency
• Protects crew module from
atmospheric loads and heating
• Jettisons after successful pad
operations and first stage flight

Crew Module Console
Provides:
♦ Situational awareness, control
and communications
♦ Jettison motor
• Separates the Launch Abort System
from the crew module Abort
• 1 solid rocket motor, 4 nozzles
♦ Abort motor
• Pulls the crew module and crew away from hazards
during a pad or mode 1 ascent abort
• Solid rocket motor with 4 reverse flow nozzles
