A SpaceX rocket engine exploded during testing

US space exploration technology group SpaceX said a rocket engine explosion occurred in a new test at the test site in McGregor, Texas, USA.

SpaceX's statement on 9/11 said no one was injured and all safety regulations were fully implemented during the incident.

SpaceX is conducting a "comprehensive and transparent" investigation to clarify the cause of the incident.

The explosion occurred on November 4 in the test of the new generation "Block 5" Merlin engine . The Falcon 9 missile currently works with the Merlin "Block 4" engine, so the incident will not affect any launch.

The explosion occurred on November 4 in the test of the new generation "Block 5" Merlin engine.

A SpaceX representative said that only the Block 5 engine test was stopped.

On its website, SpaceX said the Falcon Heavy missiles could orbit the same devices as a Boeing 737 jet with passengers, crew and luggage.

In 2017, SpaceX successfully implemented 16 satellite launches, twice as much as the average number of launches a year from before.

This year, SpaceX also successfully launched 13 of its missiles back to Earth after launch.

SpaceX has repeatedly reused the first floor of Falcon 9 missiles and is aiming to fully utilize the old missiles to reduce the cost of flying into space.

However, this is not the first time SpaceX has to investigate the cause of the incidents. On September 1, 2016, a Falcon 9 rocket exploded on a launch pad during routine testing before launching, damaging missiles and launchers. However no one was hurt.

Previously, in 2015, another Falcon 9 rocket also exploded after a few minutes of being launched in the mission to deliver goods to the International Space Station (ISS).
