NASA rocket exploded after six seconds of leaving the launch pad

On the morning of October 29 (NASA), the NASA Aerospace (Antares) suddenly blew up after leaving the launch pad in Virginia.

According to Reuters, Orbital Sciences Corp's 14-floor rocket produced just six seconds after taking off from the Wallops Flight Facility launcher in Virginia. The rocket carries NASA supplies to the International Space Station (ISS).

'We have lost the Orb-3 missile' - a NASA television announcer announced - "At this point new ground damage is limited to the Wallops Flight Facility."

The cause of the incident is unknown. NASA confirmed that no one was injured in the explosion. The Antares missile launches a "point" when it is postponed for a day when a ship invades the quarantine area below the missile's flight path.

Before the accident, unmanned missiles Antares carried the Cygnus spacecraft and nearly 2,300kg of goods, food and scientific equipment to be posted on the ISS.

According to the original plan, the rocket will fly into orbit on November 2 before going to ISS.

Orbital Sciences is one of two companies hired by NASA to deliver supplies to ISS after NASA stops the shuttle program.

This was supposed to be the third of nine flights Orbital Sciences made for NASA under a $ 1.9 billion contract.

The second company is Space Exploration Technologies, also called SpaceX. Currently the company is preparing to carry out the fourth flight for NASA under a contract worth $ 1.6 billion.
