Israeli/Facebook Spy Satellite Explodes on Cape Canaveral Launch Failure
A rocket carrying an Israeli "communications" satellite exploded on its launchpad at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Thursday, destroying the $85 million device.
The Falcon 9, a rocket manufactured by Elon Musk's private aerospace company SpaceX, disappeared from view in an explosion felt for miles.
The Amos 6 satellite, built by Israel Aerospace Industries and owned by Spacecom Ltd., was heading into space for a 16-year mission that was meant to serve Facebook, bring Internet connectivity to Africa and television service to providers in Europe and the Middle East.
It was originally scheduled for launch in July, but this was delayed to September 3.
Currently, Israel has three working civilian satellites and eight military satellite in orbit around Earth. All contact with the Amos-5 satellite was lost last year.
People in buildings far from the facility wrote on social media that they felt the blast, and posted images showing flames and a plume of thick black smoke coming from the site.
Musk founded SpaceX in 2002 with the goal of slashing launch costs to make travel to Mars affordable. The company plans to fly its first unmanned spacecraft to Mars in 2018 and send humans to Mars as early as 2024.
