ISRO Carries Out Pad Abort Test

Though ISRO doesn’t have an official human spaceflight program just yet, they’re making good progress on fundamental components, including the abort systems and the launch vehicle—GSLV Mk. III.

Looks like this was a successful test of the abort system, save for the crew module separating from the parachutes on final descent.

Make sure to check out the video of the test, if for nothing else but the audio experience including the club beats.
