SpaceX's Starship SN1 prototype appears to burst during pressure test
SpaceX's new
Starship prototype appeared to burst during a pressure test late Friday (Feb. 28), rupturing under the glare of flood lights and mist at the company's south Texas facility.
The Starship SN1 prototype, which SpaceX moved to a launchpad near its Boca Chica, Texas, assembly site earlier this week,
blew apart during a liquid nitrogen pressure test according to a
video captured by SPadre.com.
A separate video posted by NASASpaceflight.com member BocaChicaGal clearly shows the Starship SN1's midsection buckle during the test, then shoot upward before crashing back to the ground.
Space.com has reached out to
SpaceX for details of Friday's test. This story will be updated as more information is available.
