Private ship having trouble in the air

The three engines of the Dragon Airship did not start after the rocket pushed it out of the earth to reach the International Space Station yesterday.

The incident occurred shortly after SpaceX Group's Dragon ship in the US separated from the rocket outside the globe, the AP reported.

Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX Group, announced on Twitter that three of the four engines of the ship did not work after the ship separated from the missile. SpaceX's flight executives are trying to launch them.

Dragon transported more than a ton of goods, including some necessary parts for air purifiers. It also carries fresh fruit, 640 seeds of a grass, mouse stem cells, protein crystals, astronaut meals, computer components, garbage bags. As planned, it will arrive at the International Space Station on the morning of March 2 in the US time.

This is the first time Dragon has had an incident in orbit. In the two previous launches, the ship went to ISS smoothly.

Last May, Dragon spacecraft flew into space and successfully connected with ISS. With this event, SpaceX became the first private enterprise to launch ships into space. Then the US Space Agency (NASA) signed a $ 1.6 billion contract for space transport with SpaceX. Under the contract, SpaceX will transport 12 shipments to ISS. The first flight took place in October 2012.
