Spotted on the Pad near C36! Semi assembled LVM3 or preparation for Pad Abort?

Look!
From PSLV C-36!

Seems like either under progress assembly of GSLV Mk3 D1 or a mock up stage for Pad Abort test. Thanks to vineetghk, blessed eyes.

Can someone guess what is it.

It might be LVM3

Stick like structure from side elevation, so both things are possible. If we could see from front side, we could get it, has someone front elevation pic?

Foreign members any guess?

Pad Abort Test would be conducted from a specially constructed launch pad.

They are modifying a sounding rocket launch pad for pad abort test

Pad Abort Test , GSLV MK3 and 83 satellites in one go.

We have a packed Dec-Jan ahead.

Best of Luck to ISRO.

Actual soyuz t10 launch escape for cosmonauts in 1983.

I was looking for this video- this is actually one of the rare occasions where this was actually used. Thanks a ton.

Offtopic but does India really need a manned programme at the moment.
Rather concentrate on getting the heavy launch capability perfected and reduce dependence on ESA who we pay 700 cr every year or so for INSAT launches.
Also capture a part of the heavy launch market. Also develop a satellite selling business . Why concentrate only on launch capabilities. UK without any launch capability relies totally on its satellite building capabilities.
I am speaking from a purely tax payers viewpoint.

Heavy launch is going parallel I think mk3 is ready to launch on Jan 20 according to local news paper
