Question about the inflight abort: Soyuz has this too. It was used a few months ago when a launch to the ISS went non-nominal. How is the one on Crew Dragon different?
- robbiep 8y agoYou’re right. I believe the Soyuz uses two modes, the first is architecturally similar to the Apollo system (ie uses the ‘towed’ mode) whereas the crew dragon has abort built into the capsule.
- avmich 8y agoSoyuz has one "tower", which can work both before liftoff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_7K-ST_No._16L https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_7K-ST_No._16L and in flight.
