NASA's landing machine exploded during testing
Morpheus, the name of a spider-like retrofit device, was tested on August 9 in US time at the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida. It rushed to the ground immediately after flying a few meters high and caught fire, NASA announced.
The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) suffered a sudden loss when their new generation landing device exploded a few seconds after the flight test.
The fire covered the amphibious device Morpheus after it fell on August 9.
Morpheus , the name of a spider-like retrofit device, was tested on August 9 in US time at the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida. It rushed to the ground immediately after flying a few meters high and caught fire, NASA announced.
Lisa Malone, NASA spokeswoman, confirmed that the test had failed completely. No one was injured in the accident and the fire was controlled.
Another NASA spokesman said the experts suspected the incident was caused by a mechanical device in the GPS navigation system.
NASA spent $ 7 million on its Morpheus manufacturing program. New engineers successfully built a version of the device. The second version has not yet been released, the AP reported.
Made of inexpensive materials, Morpheus is a test version of an environmentally friendly amphibious device. Its engine uses a mixture of methane and liquid oxygen - two types of gas that are quite popular so have low cost. NASA wants to use the following versions of Morpheus in its efforts to explore the moon, meteorites and celestial objects near the globe. It can carry humanoid robots or small self-propelled robots.
