The abort system ignites to separate it from Orion
The Crew Escape System is also part of the Artemis-1 mission, which is preparing to launch its first mission to the Moon. The abort system consists of three solid rocket motors: the abort motor pulls the crew module away from the rocket. The attitude control motor steers and orients the capsule. The jettison motor then fires to separate the launch abort system from Orion for parachute deployment and a safe crew landing.

NASA has said that in the event of an emergency on the launch pad or during ascent, the Launch Abort System will safely lift the Orion crew module off the Space Launch System rocket. Blue Origin attributed the mission’s failure to a booster anomaly as it hit the ground seconds after the crew capsule blasted away from it.
