The weather was good, the start went off without a problem and for the first two minutes there was nothing alarming. But in the next seconds, there were flames and thick smoke. Then a huge explosion.
Dragon was carrying two tons of scientific equipment and supplies to the International Space Station.
The head of NASA, Charles Bolden assured in a statement that the astronauts on the station are safe, and subsequent missions with food, water and fuel are planned for July and August.
NASA experts and company Space X, who oversaw the mission suggest that the cause of the explosion was the failure of the so-called. the second stage of the rocket. Now they intend to collect the debris and telemetry data to determine exactly why the mission ended in failure.
