SpaceX's return rocket video that fails and explodes immediately before landing is released
Private space rocket development company led by Mr. Eulon Mask "SpaceX"The test flight of the return rocket carried out by regrettably failed. This test isPerformed in January 2015Following the first test that was done, although it was a disappointing result as a result, it shows a movement that exceeds the previous time and shows an improvement in level, which is expected to be a success for the future.

This flight was carried out in conjunction with the implementation of the replenishment mission "CRS-6" to ISS (International Space Station). I will launch the spacecraft "Dragon" carrying the items actually carried to the ISS on the company's rocket "Falcon 9" but at the initial stage of the launch we will lead the first stage rocket which has been separated and separated, It is an experiment to land on "barge" installed on the sea.
The movie of the moment when the Falcon 9 rocket posted to Vine ship to the barge is kore. It seems like we succeeded in landing while raising the smoke for a while, but in fact the decisive moment was waiting after this.
A high-quality version of the movie capturing the moment of explosion has been released on YouTube in detail in a series of situations.
CRS-6 First Stage Landing - YouTube
The first stage part of Falcon 9 descended towards the barge, which is the destination ship.
From the aircraft, legs for wearing ships began to spread. Just like spreading an umbrella, legs of only the framework spread.
In the moment just before the ship, the legs are ready for a complete landing. It seems that the balance of the aircraft is a little lost ... ...
A rocket that injects things like white gas from the bow portion. It seems to be an injection device for controlling posture.
It seemed like we landed safely ... ...
It seems that the smoke does not stop and it is hard to restless. The posture control injection is performed again from the bow.
However, the response is inevitable, and the rocket concealed in the battle and the smoke ......
"Dawn!" Blew up fire and exploded and failed to collect the aircraft.
Mask CEO Twitter said, "Successful launch, Dragon is on the path towards ISS, although the rocket was ship to" barge ", but the impact was too big and it was destroyed" A comment is tweeted.
Ascent successful. Dragon enroute to Space Station. Rocket landed on droneship, but too hard for survival.

Concept diagram showing the plan of launch is kore. Following the trajectory indicated by the yellow line, the body of the spacecraft jumps to outer space, but the rocket that was cut off half way upside down 180 degrees and was set up on the sea following the orbit drawn with a white line Descent to the barge. Rocket that returned safely will be reused after inspection.

The barge looks like this. It is a hull called ASDS (autonomous spaceport drone ship: automatic driving space port drone ship), which is automatically controlled by the computer as its name suggests. On the platform, together with the SpaceX logo mark the ship name "Just Read the InstructionsIt is written.

One unusual name "Just Read the Instructions" is a science fiction writer who died in 2013Ian · M · BanksIt was taken from the name of the spaceship that appears in his work 'Game Player'. This seems to have been done by Mr. Mask 's remembrance with the remembrance of Mr. Banks' death. The book has been translated into Japanese, and the Japanese version of the cover illustration is by Mr. Zenzo Matsumoto's hand.

And the state of the rocket at the moment of trying to get to Just Read the Instructions. Even just saying that descending from the sky above the target of a few tens of meters, descending has been a surprising control.

However, in the end it is a rocket that collides with the ship unavoidably and loses its posture. After this, it seems that the explosion has destroyed the airframe.

Although it was a failure as a result, it was this test flight that seemed to further predict future evolution. The next experiment will be carried out at the next mission "CRS - 7" scheduled for June 2015.
