The Emergency Crew Return Vehicle is used to give the crew a means to escape from a spacecraft in the event of an accident during the launch or ascent, or in the event of incidents like fires aboard the space station. The vehicle is designed so that the fuselage itself floats and is navigated using a large parafoil until it touches down. In addition to the current type, which relies on the force of wind, new types like the Clipper (an emergency return vehicle equipped with an engine that does not use a parafoil) are being developed in Russia. While costly, these new models can be precisely navigated using an engine.
