India Working on Manned Spaceflight - Yazata - Jul 7, 2018 They just tested a crew escape system for their manned space capsule. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/isro-conducts-first-crew-escape-test-for-indias-manned-mission-to-space/articleshow/64867214.cms https://www.isro.gov.in/update/05-jul-2018/successful-flight-testing-of-crew-escape-system-technology-demonstrator Here's what their capsule looks like.
