Her rocket SpaceX He started his eighth trial flight on Thursday from Starbase located on Boca Chica Beach Texasafter a failed mission in January, in order to test the spaceship in pressure conditions. The vehicle lost the contact a few minutes after the launch, collapsed and dissolved.

This time, the debris from the explosion appeared to fall to Earth as the rain of burning debris from the sky over Florida.

In the wake of this incident, the accumulation of launch residues led the authorities to issue a “ground stop” at many Florida airports, including Miami International, according to the Federal Aviation Committee. Miami Airport remained immobilized and Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International reported departure delay due to debris on Thursday night.

The 123 -meter (403 -foot) rocket was fired from Texas. SpaceX caught the first -stage launcher back on the platform with giant engine arms, but the engines of the spacecraft at the top began to erase as it headed east for a controlled entrance above the Indian Ocean. The contact was lost as the spaceship began to rotate out of control.

Starship reached almost 150 kilometers (90 miles) before the problem occurs and four virtual satellites can develop. It was not immediately clear where it fell, but pictures of burning debris were recorded by Florida, including near Cape Kanaveral, and posted online.

Confirming the unfortunate incident, SpaceX said in a statement: “During the ascent of Starship, the vehicle faced a quick disassembly and the contact was lost. Our team immediately began coordinating with security officers for the implementation of planned emergency answers. ”

“We will look at the data from today’s test flight to better understand the main cause. As always, success comes from what we learn and today’s flight will offer additional courses to improve Starship’s credibility ‘, added.
