Year 2, day 311.
Project: Resnik.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Safely recover (uncrewed) capsule after activation of launch escape system.

Before launching crew in a new vessel, it might be qualified for crewed flight. The first part is performing a test of its launch escape system, which will jettison the capsule from the rocket in the event of an emergency during ascent.
