Mission Summary: This will be almost exactly the same mission as the pad abort except the vehicle will be on a simulated ascent when the abort is triggered. The profile for the mission is as follows. First the crew service tower will retract, after that at T-8 seconds the main engines will ignite and come to full power. After that at T-0 the vehicle will be released and it will begin to ascend. Once the vehicle reaches a sufficient altitude the abort sequence will be called and the escape tower will pull the capsule away from the vehicle. The capsule will, as always, return with parachutes.
