Examples of Launch Abort in a sentence
An ESA provided SM could accelerate the first crewed Orion MPCV flight by freeing the US contractors to concentrate on the Crew Module and Launch Abort System.
The assessment team discussed at length the differences between the CPAS and ELS drogue deployment envelopes, system layouts, and components.The assessment team also reviewed the Orion Launch Abort System (LAS) design and its separation Con Ops as it impacted CPAS reliability following an abort.The CPAS architecture evolution during the three assessment RPs are described chronologically in this subsection.

During Launch: Abort modes and selection; separation control; range safety; crew interface (display and controls); crew escape; critical systems monitoring and control; guidance, navigation, and control; and communication and tracking.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS PLANNED FOR FY 2013In FY 2013, the Orion MPCV will complete the Launch Abort System-Crew Module mating in preparation for Exploration Flight Test-1, planned for early FY 2014.
The test also provided important insight into key separation events, including whether the Launch Abort System and protective fairings cameoff at the right times, how the parachutes assisting Orion during its descent fared and how the operations to recover Orion from the Pacific Ocean progressed.
Two upper hinges mounted on ML.The addition of the crew capsule and Launch Abort System (LAS) will require the ML to be modified to support this forty-foot vertical extension.The main focus of this project is to assist the Launch Accessories Branch in the hinge modifications to support proper rotation of the Exploration Upper Stage (EUS) umbilical at EM-2 rocket liftoff.
The abort motor and attitude control motor on the LAS would fire and the Launch Abort Vehicle (the combined LAS and CM) would rocket away from the launch pad.After abort motor burnout, the canards on the LAS would deploy to reorient the entire vehicle to a heat- shield-forward orientation for free-fall.
