SpaceX crowdsources clues to rocket blast as missions stack up

SpaceX asked witnesses to share video, photos and audio of a launchpad blaze that destroyed a satellite-bearing rocket last week, a mystery that billionaire founder Elon Musk called the most "difficult and complex failure" in the company's 14 years.The ignition source for the fireball wasn't readily apparent and the spacecraft was idle at the time of the incident, Musk wrote in a tweet Friday. He also asked for any recordings of the event to be e-mailed to the Hawthorne, California-based rocket maker.The closely held company wants to quickly find the cause of the blast that engulfed its Falcon 9 rocket minutes before a scheduled pre-launch engine test on September 1. As is typical after a mishap, all rocket flights for Musk's Space Exploration Technologies have been grounded, halting operations just as the company was accelerating to its fastest-ever launch tempo to capitalise on a $10-billion backlog of scheduled missions."Turning out to be the most difficult and complex failure we ha

SpaceX probe focuses on milliseconds before rocket blew up

SpaceX and federal investigators are poring over a few milliseconds of data as they probe why a blaze destroyed a Falcon 9 rocket and satellite on a Florida launchpad two days before a scheduled flight.The space exploration company founded by billionaire Elon Musk said Friday that it's working to determine "causes and fixes" for the incident, which incinerated a satellite that Facebook planned to use to beam Internet access across a broad swath of Africa. Also unknown: the scale of damage to the SpaceX pad known as SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, from which it has lobbed missions into orbit.
