Answer 1

Answer:

B. To eject the crew module to safety during launch emergencies.

• The primary purpose of the Crew Escape System (CES) on ISRO's Human Rated Launch Vehicle Mark-III (HLVM3) is to ensure the safety of the astronauts onboard during critical phases of the launch. • In the event of any anomaly or emergency during the ascent trajectory, the CES is designed to rapidly propel the crew module, containing the astronauts, away from the malfunctioning launch vehicle.
