ROCKET CRASHES AFTER LIFTOFF FROM KODIAK SPACEPORT, DAMAGES LAUNCH PAD

ABL Space Systems has confirmed that its RS-1 rocket experienced an anomaly
Tuesday during liftoff from the Kodiak Pacific Spaceport. All nine of the
rocket’s engines shut down prematurely, and it did not reach orbit.
The rocket then “impacted the pad and was destroyed,” the company said on
Twitter.
A black plume of smoke was visible from the city of Kodiak, rising from the area
near the Spaceport Complex on Narrow Cape around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, shortly
after the planned takeoff time of 2:27 p.m.

A spokesperson for ABL said via email that all personnel on the ground at the
complex were safe, although there is damage to the launch facility. As of 9 p.m.
Tuesday, the company said via Twitter that “fires have subsided” at the complex.
The company also tweeted, “This is not the outcome we were hoping for today, but
one that we prepared for. We’ll revert with additional information when
available. Thanks to all for the support.”
ABL said it was going through its anomaly response procedures in coordination
with the Pacific Spaceport Complex and the Federal Aviation Administration.
This would have been ABL’s first successful launch of its RS-1 rocket — the
company has been trying to launch from the Kodiak Pacific Spaceport Complex
since the fall.
