New Video of Dragon Launch Abort by SpaceX is Amazing

SpaceX recently released video of the Dragon Pad abort test that was conducted earlier this month.

The unmanned space flight by American rocket company was designed to test the effectiveness of the company's new capsule abort system that will allow astronauts to steer clear a malfunctioning rocket during a failed launch.

The Pad Abort Test for the Crew Dragon has been a success.

"It was a great, great outcome," Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, said after the test. "Had there been people on board, they would have been in great shape."

The released video clip, two-minutes long, was recorded from the point of view of passenger insider the space vehicle.

"The successful Pad Abort Test was the first flight test of SpaceX's revolutionary launch abort system, and the data captured here will be critical in preparing Crew Dragon for its first human missions in 2017," the rocket company wrote about the success of the Pad Abort Test.

Private companies like SpaceX and Boeing have been authorized by NASA to develop commercial spacecrafts capable of transporting people to the ISS in order to end the dependence on Russian-made vehicles.
