Can anyone expand this article to describe how the launch abort system (LAS) works for spacecraft with this style reentry capsule? Is it correct that the crew are located in the reentry capsule during launch? And the capsule is sandwiched between the orbital module and service module in the stack? Does the entire spacecraft get transported away from a malfunctioning launch vehicle? Or is the orbital module blown off so the capsule can get away? Or are the crew ejected from the capsule?

Let me see if I can try to explain it. When the LAS fires, it takes the shroud (or at least part of it), the orbital module, and the re-entry capsule with it. Four petals extend on the exterior of the shroud for stability. The re-entry capsule falls away and lands safely. Althoguh, I am not sure this is 100% correct.
