“There should normally nothing wrong. It seems to be a manufacturing defect,” as Musk said during a telephone press conference. The 60 cm long and 3 cm wide beam supported a helium tank that broke and then exploded, according to initial investigations.
Musk emphasized that SpaceX henceforth each individual girder will be subjected to tests.
The unmanned launch vehicle Falcon 9 from the space company SpaceX exploded on June 28, shortly after its launch on the base Cape Canaveral Florida. The rocket was a Dragon capsule with 2,000 kilograms stock and scientific equipment to bring the International Space Station.
As a result of the accident the next launch of a Dragon capsule to the ISS will probably only “at the earliest in September” may take place, as reported Musk easy.
