The Indian Space Research Organization is now preparing to send manned aircraft into space. That’s why they experimented crew escape system on Thursday morning. And the whole thing is recorded in a video which released for everyone on Friday.

The duration of video is 1.39 minutes after editing in which you can watch everything from take off to splashdown. You can watch the video here: https://www.isro.gov.in/flight-test-of-crew-escape-system-technology-demonstrator-lift-of-video

In this experiment, a 12.6 tonne crew capsule was launched using seven solid propellant motors at 7 am. Sriharikota was chosen as the launching pad where cameras were installed to record the take off. 

When the capsule reached a height of 2.7 km, it moved towards the Bay of Bengal where two parachutes were unwrapped and landed on the sea. The distance between landing place and launchpad was 2.9 km.
