Title: ISS Cargo Lost in SpaceX Falcon Flameout Post by: HCK on June 30, 2015, 03:00:14 am ISS Cargo Lost in SpaceX Falcon Flameout
The SpaceX CRS-7 rocket failed minutes after Sunday's launch, blowing up in mid-air. Just after T+2 minutes, when the craft's altitude was 32 km, its speed was 1 km/second, and its downrange distance was 30 km, its flight path apparently began curving downward. Three explosions then occurred. "There was an overpressure event in the upper stage liquid oxygen tank," SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted.
