On the investigation into the disaster of the American space truck thrown all forces NASA. The ship was launched on Sunday from Cape Canaveral and had to deliver the cargo to the ISS. The first minutes of the flight went normally, but the explosion at 17:23, a rocket was lost.

Two tons of valuable cargo. US missiles “Falcon-9″ was supposed to deliver to the ISS not only scientific equipment and materials for experiments, but also water, food and oxygen. However, the “Falcon” – as translated missiles – had been in the air only two minutes, and suddenly seemed to evaporate before our eyes.

This explosion with Falken was destroyed and the space truck Dragon, he had to ensure the delivery of the station. NASA and privately held company “Space X”, which belonged to a rocket ship, and now can not name the exact cause of the accident.

We only know that in the tank with liquid oxygen booster sudden high blood pressure. The investigation has already started, now there are searching the wreckage. One thing is clear – the incident can severely affect the American space mission.

“This rocket was supposed to deliver a new water filter, the filter is now at work on the station should be carefully monitored. This is certainly a blow for us, we lost and a new adapter for docking with the ISS, lost suit “- he said the first deputy director of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, William Gerstenmaier.

Russian equipment or goods was not at the” Falcon “, it proved to Roskomose. In turn, our country offers immediate assistance to the Americans delivered to the ISS.

To do this, and there is international cooperation in space, to help each other. Naturally, if there is such a need and something urgently needs to be delivered to the station in the near future on the American segment of the course, it can be done with our “progress” that on July 3 will be directed to the ISS.

The station is now only one American astronaut – Scott Kelly. He saw the catastrophe, and immediately wrote about it in his microblog: “watch the launch” Dragon “to the ISS. Unfortunately, the launch failed. Space – not an easy thing”.

It looks like the crew of the ISS can now be really not easy. In recent years, this is the second major accident with a cargo ship, was lost in the spring of a Russian “Progress”, so it goes, the station has received less for more than 4 tons of essential goods, has been declared saving mode.

For the company “SpeysIks” explosion “Dragon” is also not the first incident. A couple of months ago they lost reusable stage for the same “Falcon”, and a year ago in Texas blew a prototype of a new missile.
