An artist's rendering shows the Orion launch abort vehicle following liftoff for the Pad Abort 1 flight test at the U.S. Army's White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The launch abort system has completed its job and separated from the crew module 21 seconds into the flight. At 31 seconds into the flight, the drogue chutes are cut away from the crew module and main chute pilot mortars fire to deploy three small pilot parachutes. The pilot chutes immediately extract the three main parachutes.
