SpaceX rocket Falcon 9 takes off at 1021 (local time) yesterday in sunny weather conditions, clear sky, NBC News quoted the announcement of the US Aeronautics and Space Agency ( NASA) said. But after a few minutes, NASA spokesman George Diller reported the loss of the missile. The fragments of Falcon 9 fell into the Atlantic Ocean . NASA and SpaceX are investigating the cause of the incident.

The main objective of today's rocket launch is to bring the unmanned spacecraft to reuse Dragon , bringing more than two tons of equipment, tools and supplies to serve the ISS station . Dragon also carries food, oxygen containers and other necessities. Therefore, this loss is increasing pressure on space crew and flight planners.

Dragon has 6 times successfully carried out the task of transporting goods to the ISS, according to the USD 1.6 billion contract signed between SpaceX and NASA. This is the first time this spacecraft has failed.

Last October, the Antares missile carrying NASA's unmanned spacecraft also exploded in the air only 6 seconds after being launched from the base in Virginia state.
