SpaceX Starship breaks apart after successful launch and recovery test

ai generated text

SpaceX's Starship broke up mid-flight, causing airlines to divert flights to avoid falling debris. At least 20 flights were rerouted according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24. The Super Heavy booster managed to return to its launchpad as planned, which was a success for the mission.

    1. The FAA briefly slowed and diverted aircraft around the area where space vehicle debris was falling. Normal operations have resumed.

    1. Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly during its ascent burn. Teams will continue to review data from today's flight test to better understand root cause.

    1. Apart from obviously double-checking for leaks, we will add fire suppression to that volume and probably increase vent area.
    2. Teams will continue to review data from today's flight test to better understand root cause. With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and today's flight will help us improve Starship's reliability.
    3. Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity.
    4. Nothing so far suggests pushing next launch past next month.
